Hello,
since my old cheap D-Link NAS died i try to figure out the best way how to use my current resources to build temporary NAS solution.
Here is what I have:
1) Mainboard Intel DP67BG with Intel Rapid Storage Raid Controller
2) 16GB memory installed (non-ECC modules, 4x4gb dual channel)
3) 2x ~2TB HDD WD Green series
4) 240 GB SSD for Windows 10 Pro with Hyper-V software installed (mounted as a C: drive)
5) 120 GB SSD additional storage (old OCZ vertex 3 drive, mounted as a D: drive)
Here's what I already tried/achieve:
0) recover all files from dead D-link NAS
1) set up RAID 1 mirror using Intel Rapid Storage in my mobo bios (I used two 2TB disks in mirror) - this drive is visible in Windows as N: single drive
2) set up two instances of FreeNAS (nas1, nas2) on my hyper-v for test purposes - each vm stored (configuration files, installation drive) on D: drive
3) set up 5GB test virtual drive on N: physical drive (mirrored by Intel Rapid Storage) as my test storage drive
4) on first nas instance I created pool using test storage virtual drive
5) i checked if I will be able to recover pool from first instance on the second instance (if first instance will be damaged or unbootable) - test PASSED
Here's what I need:
1) I'm an photographer and I need quite safe place to
a) store my RAW files from my camera (each file ~30MB, number of files counted in thousands)
b) store my PSD files safe (each file ~300MB, numer of files counted in hundreds)
c) stora my MOV files safe (each file from 500MB to 1 GB, number of files counted in tens)
2) get my data accesible from MacOS and Windows
3) have quick file transfer (as quick as possible, limitations are: 801.11ac ~150MB/s, N: drive I/O speed (~120MB/s read and write)
What will be the best architecture to do that?
Where to put Hyper-V config files (on D: drive or N: which is mirrored)?
How to set Hyper-V environment for maximum transfer speed and highest possible security for my data?
This is my first adventure with this kind of issue for a very long time and I look forward to your understanding :)
