This build is for a home NAS system that will be used for general file sharing for a few Windows and Linux machines. Possible video streaming, but no (or little) transcoding. I plan to move all the home directories to the NAS so I can access any file form any machine. Initially my backup strategy will be to backup important files to the local machines, with a view to backing up off site later.
Planning to run Raid Z2.
I am aware that the case does not allow for expansion, but I can't see running out of room soon. I have built with the case before and like it. If I have to I will swap the case later. It seems a reasonable piece of gear to economize on.
