So I'm finally about to pull the trigger on my first FreeNAS build, just looking for some community feedback on the hardware. I will be basically following hardware recommendations outlined by cyberjock.
The Build :
I plan to add more drives while I test and configure the system. The goal is to acquire 6 drives total and configure as RAIDZ2). Also, before I commit any critical data to the system, I will be acquiring a UPS and a backup solution.
I have been contemplating a FreeNAS build for a long time. I think I am ready now, assuming I have not committed any grievous errors in this build. How does this system look? Have I missed anything?
Any comments are much appreciated.
Thanks
