I'm investigating hardware for my first FreeNAS build. The function will be the primary backup destination for a small/medium organization. My priorities are high-availability and longevity/future-proofing. Our total volume of data isn't massive. Use case would be storing a versioned list of full system images for all in-house servers and other critical data backups. I'll probably be tempted to run 2-3 bhyve VMs, as well. I'd love to hear some feedback on this idea list - hardware isn't my expertise!
I'm especially interested in knowing if you can see any glaring issues with these selections, or would suggest alternative items if this combo is poorly selected. Thanks much!
