George,
Thanks, I had thought about this one but it only has the PCI slot and I thought it was recommended to find a PCIe slot for the raid card vs PCI to help speed it along.
otherwise I really like the atom boards.
What transfer speeds do you see?

Mike is, of course, right about some of the limitations of my board ... but for me it is working well, and I like the quiet & low power consumption.
Can't explain the large difference in Write speeds between the two drives (same generation and cache size), or the significant difference in read versus write (write is expected to be much faster due to cache on the HDD, but this is quite a margin):
Code:
Diskwriggler from Win7Pro64 to NASLite-2 v2.60 11-2009 running
on Intel D945GCLF2 (Atom 330/Gigabit) with 1GB RAM:
Several conditions:
1. two drives: WD 500GB & 1TB "green" drives with 16MB cache.
Disk-0: A 500GB "green" drive, 16MB cache: WDC WD5000AACS-00G8B0
Disk-1: A 1TB "green" drive, 16MB cache: WDC WD10EACS-00D6B1
2. AV on and off. (Comodo Internet Security Free)
Command line:
diskWriggler.exe -HD -C -t -n 500 -o \\<naslite-IP>\Disk-X
