Hardware for FreeNAS

sadain15 · Dec 3, 2013

Hi, I am searching for the specific hardware for building my FreeNAS around 10TB of storage. Since this will be used for video streaming, we need good performance and storage will be expendable in future . Need a Server System, can you people please recommend a server box for this?

This build should have excellent performance and it has 16 TB of storage, plus an SSD for System Software Speed, and can be expanded in the future as well.

Will you be doing anything on the server besides streaming videos/files? like transcoding to another format or resolution?

How many concurrent streams?
