I need to build a NAS for video storage and I'm wondering what everyone thought of this setup. I'm not going to stream a lot from it. This is just for overflow storage. I do want to have some descent performance from it just in case we decide to have a couple users edit from it. I'm not really looking to build an ok Atom system. I need something that's going to help FreeNAS shine even more and be reliable.
So my question really is what Motherboard/cpu would you go with and what's a really well supported raid card with a total 24 ports? this can be 1 card or multiple. I'm really looking for a well supported system that I'm not going to have any surprises :)
Here is what I have so far. What would you do?
Supermicro - 36 Server Chassis - $1649.00
Processor - $279.99
Motherboard - $179.99
Raid Card x 2 - $1,620.00
Memory - $ 341.98
Hard Drives x 24 - $5,040.00
Thanks for the help
