I have been running 0.7 for 4+ years now. Recently, there has been some access problem, i.e., slow or sometimes I cannot access the drives at all and have to reboot. Status console shows CF Card error while the disks are all marked as "PASSED". My Hardware specs are show in the uploaded file.

I'm now considering fixing the hardware and migrating to a newer platform.

My NAS usage is mainly for home, i.e., media file storage and streaming to WD TV Live boxes and Bittorrent. The choice of building my own NAS was speed. I was able to achieve writing speed of 50MB/s compared to sub 10MB/s from my Buffalo Lin Station Pro Quad.

My questions are:
1. For my basic use, is FreeNAS or Nas4Free more suitable
2. If FreeNAS, do I have to manually back up all my files from 0.7? Any fast way to do this as I have almost 7TB of data
