File server (Nov 2016)

[KangaRufus]

I have been asked to spec a file server, which can simultaneously handle multiple streams of 4K video (which I believe is around the 4GB/sec mark)
The machine will be headless with no other duties besides streaming and filing.

--------------------------------------------------------
Gigabyte GA-970A-DS3P ATX AM3+ Motherboard
AMD FX-4300 3.8GHz Quad-Core Processor
Crucial 16GB (4 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory
PowerColor Radeon HD 5570 1GB Video Card
EVGA 600W 80+ Certified ATX Power Supply

Additionally, 6 to 8 Western Digital Caviar Blues

Opinions would be most welcome. Thanks
