i have a n40l microserver
3 2tb drives
8gb memory
I basically want to store my media (photo's, movies and music) on the machine so it can be accessed from other machines and iPads, iPhones etc.
Setup I have installed as follows
Esxi
Installed Freenas as a VM
Installed Plex plugin
I have enabled cfis and nfs shares.
What would the best way to upload my media? Connecting to windows share and just dragging and dropping ? My concern here is that in case I have a issue with my VM I may loose the data. Is it possible to basically use one of the 2tb drives to copy my date and then share to free nas?
