Hi Guys,
New to FreeNAS and have read back about 20 pages of builds and trying to gather as much info as I can.
Looking for a NAS for my home server to be mainly used to store Movies and Photos, backups with maybe 1 VM and if we can run a Security Camera plug in or Blue Iris on the same box then that'd be great.
Main purpose would be for Movies, Photos and Backups.
Playback devices would be a Nvidia Shield, Firesticks, PC for the most part with Kodi as the front end.
Was thinking about installing Plex but that's not a priority.
I have an extra LianLi PC-Q25 ITX case that I was going to use for the NAS. It's nice and compact with hot swappable drives.
That limits my motherboard choices though.
The two I'm looking at are the following:
ASRock C2750D4i 2.4Ghz (Passmark of 3850)
ASRock E3C236D2I with I3-6100 (Passmark of 5450)
ASRock E3C236D2I with E3-1230v5 (Passmark of 9655)
I'd have 32GB of ECC Ram
4 - 8TB WD Reds
Which mobo/cpu combination should I choose based off my needs?
Thanks!
