Check this NAS build and RAID help
Last response: in Systems
I want to make a new NAS/home server. I don't need it to do much: fileserver and few programs including Transmission (for sharing media projects with the team). I just want it as cheap as possible.
How's this for a build: https://www.aria.co.uk/WishList/VA5P...KmfuvkwiMiBw,,
If anyone can suggest cheaper/missing parts or incompatibilities, that'd be perfect
Second question: I have a 1TB hard drive, and ideally I'd use this in connection with a larger drive, 2 or 3 TB. Could I RAID 0 2x1TB drives and RAID 1 those with the 2TB drive, to create 2TB storage with redundancy?
What is possible with ZFS? I've heard good things but don't know enough about it?
Thanks!

More about : check nas build raid
Well the raid controller onboard is only really good for 2 drives in raid 1 or raid 0 if you ask me. i would usually suggest getting a proper raid controllers for raid 5 or raid 6 configurations since raid controllers help with performance and would allow you to easily switch raid configurations and add drives to the drive pool
