I reported in a previous post Its_Hard_To_Beat_Free that German storage vendor Open-E was giving away its open source-based DSS Lite software that turns a typical PC server into a NAS/iSCSI initiator and target/Fibre Channel initiator and target till Jan. 31. Apparently enough people downloaded the Lite version with its 1 TB storage limit and then decided to buy Open-E's bigger versions to make it worthwhile, so Open-E is again providing free downloads.While it seems like this is an open-ended offer, and the software itself has no time limit, I would install and activate DSS Lite soon as the earlier offer required that it be activated by 31 January and Open-E could impose a similar restriction again.
