I'm seeing several FreeNAS builds and hardware threads from years past, but nothing here in mid-to-later 2018.
Great forum and lots of smart and awesome replies from lots of people.
I just signed up as I'm contemplating a FreeNAS system to run Plex to house all my media. I was eyeing a QNAP 877, although that seems like overkill and pricey, plus I enjoy building my own systems (I have a couple gaming PCs with the latest NVidia GPUs in them, until the 2080's are out soon). I'd like to run several WD Red Pro's to support Plex. I really like the QNAP and Synology NAS because of the low power and quietness of their systems, but lack of CPU and memory for streaming Plex is concerning. If you had an all-out budget, what would you build for Plex running FreeNAS that is small, quiet and decently energy-efficient? Thanks for your time!
