Hello Fellow Members,
My name is Justin and I am somewhat new to FreeNAS
I was wondering if anybody could tell me the best way to go about my storage needs.
I am currently using a drobo and it seems too slow for my liking.
I have a rather big media collection and need some serious storage to keep it up and running, In my media closet i have a 2009 Xserve and what i am curious about is what you fellow members think would be the best implementation of FreeNAS for me to serve up content to my house.
My idea is to build a system (recommendation on parts is needed) that can house about 8 x2TB drives in a some sort of raid(need recommendation on which raid would be best) install a 2 or 4 port gigE card on it and use link aggregation with iScsi and connect it to a similar card in the Xserve which would in theory give me a fast connection from there the media will be streamed out by the xserve
but what i really need help with is which raid would be best for a storage array that will be receiving backups and sending out content
