So i'm putting together a home server. I've already decided i am going to use FreeNAS.
It is mainly going to be used as a media server for all kinds of different media and some backups.
I will be accessing it on all kinds of different networks and devices so its needs to stream FullHD video and always work as fast as possible.
I already got a Case(Chieftec Bravo) and a Power-supply (620W), i'm planning on using ZFS so i know that i will need alot of RAM for that. also i will be expanding the server with more and more hard-drives over time.
So what i would like to know is would these items below for fill my needs, here is the list.
1 x Intel® Core™ i3-2120
1 x ASRock B75 Pro3, socket 1155 motherboard (because of the standard 8 SATA connections on the board so i wouldn't need to worry about another SATA/RAID card for a while )
1 x Crucial 16 GB DDR3-1600 dual-Kit, RAMmemory (2x 8gb)
5 x Western Digital Red, 2 TB Hard drives
FreeNAS itself will be running on a portable 8GB USB stick.
Well, here is where i want your advice, what do u think.. is this gonna be a successful build or do you have some better suggestions for me?
I would love to hear them and u would help me out alot
(ps sorry for the bad english)
