I want to build a server (NAS) that uses wake on LAN (WOL). The idea being that a magic packet will be sent, via an always on PC, to wake up the NAS. The motherboard must support WOL and have at least 4xsata so I can have 4x2tb. I would prefer Linux. I also need that the NAS is woken very quickly, eg a second or two. Any ideas from any one who has actually built such a NAS? Eg proven motherboard/bios. I dont care if its mini itx/ micro itx etc. But it must be ultra low power in idle <10watts. In power on, 100 watts plus or so is acceptable. I need the NAS to be powerful enough to serve 5 PCs and be capable of 1080p transcoding. I was also thinking of using a fast SSD for the OS and thus speed up WOL and then using 4xsata as 3.5 inch harddrives.
