Hello all!
So I'm new to FreeNAS. After a failed attempt to run it on a legacy rig I had (10 year old eVGA nForce 680i SLI mobo using the PheonixAward BIOS with a Core2 Duo and 8 GB RAM. It wouldn't make it through POST) I think I'm going to go the route of a new build.
This really needs to be a budget build as money is a huge factor and my main uses are file/media backup and Plex server. I don't foresee there being more than 2 streams with transcoding at a time. So I've put together the following main components as I will be reusing a PSU and case. I know it's non-ECC and that it's consumer grade stuff. What I want to know is will these suffice for my uses? Thanks to everyone in advance!
