Hey people.
My boss just tossed me the idea that since he had an old Buffalo ts5400 in the storage room just collecting stuff that i could try to set it up with FreeNAS (if possible).
So far i haven't been able to find an answer to the question, so i'm hoping someone here can help me.

A TerrorStation, eh? Based on the hardware inside it right now ("Powered by a 1.86GHz dual-core Intel Atom D2550 processor with 2GB of DDR3 RAM") I'm going to say that's a no, but if the motherboard is a standard mini-ITX form factor you might be able to swap it with one that meets the minimum spec and re-use the case.

There's certainly other options to turn it into a NAS, but strictly from the perspective of "will FreeNAS be supported on it" it hasn't got the memory (or CPU if I'm honest)
