Description:
I'm a noob. Here's what's happened so far;

Booting from USB.

Using freeNas I was getting awful write rates of 16M bits. Read was OK. Looked
around, was suggested it may be bad LAN chipset. Bought highly recommended Intel
EXPI9301CTBLK NIC. NDE.

Was getting "AP #1 (PHY# 2) failed! panic y/n?" boot error. BIOS firmware update
(Biostar TH61 ITX mobo) fixed this (installing Win to run firmware update was a
day-long comedy of errors).

Was getting "known issue w/ these HDs" error under freenas, don't seem to be
getting it anymore, seems to have cleared up w/ bios firmware update?!

Looked around, applied all recommended BIOS settings, NDE. Looked around,
testimonial suggest simply switching to Nas4Free improved their write speeds.

Ffwd thru some other setbacks, USB embedded Nas4Free, NDE on write speeds.
Updated firmware on 3 HDs (ST31000340AS) even though the manufacturer
recommended against it (figured it couldn't get any slower), NDE (had to
reinstall Win 7 bcs of hardware changes). Firmware update for Seagate SAMSUNG
HD203WI 1AN10002 refused to run.

Losing cool. Posting this in the freeNas and nas4Free forums to see which
system/community can provide the best noob-friendly solution. Thanks in advance!
