The selected NAS OS (FreeNAS) can be booted with a flash drive (64MB would be enough) more efficiently than from another hard disk. So my NAS system is flash booting and magnetic hard disks are dedicated for the RAID array. In case of OS failure, I only have to slide in backup CF card and system should boot up without a problem.<img src="http://www.elakiri.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=12803&stc=1&d=1262245573" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />  I selected a bracketed CF adopter, since it will allow CF removal without opening the computer case. If security is a concern, this can be fixed inside the casing, after removing the bracket. Header fit into the IDE cable quite conveniently. There are also other models which can be inserted directly into the motherboard IDE header, which also can be considered.Even a 64MB CF card would have been enough, but I bought 3x1GB CF cards on a package deal at US$30.  (yet to receive)  CF adopter - Rs 1200  CF card 1GB – Rs 1000</blockquote>
