Hello all i have a couple questions in regards to building my first FreeNAS system.
System setup
Intel Core i5-8400 Coffee Lake 6-Core 2.8 GHz (4.0 GHz Turbo) LGA 1151 (300 Series)
ASRock Z370M-ITX/ac LGA 1151 (300 Series) Intel Z370
Crucial MX500 2.5" 500GB SATA III 3D NAND Internal Solid State Drive (SSD)
Crucial 16GB Kit (8GBx2) DDR4 2133 MT/s (PC4-17000) DR x8 Unbuffered DIMM 288-Pin Memory(might get non-eCC)
Seasonic FOCUS series SSR-450FM 450W 80 + Gold Power Supply,
Fractal Design Core 500 Black Mini-ITX Small Form Factor Computer Case
1st question is will this be enough if not overkill?
2nd question i will be using this for a media center/cloud/ local back up of data. i currently have three HDD in my computer 2x300GB and 1x500GB both have various music,videos,pictures and data files. eventually i will be buying bigger HDD to consolidate the data. I will be purchasing a 4TB drive now and from this point on all new drives will be 4TB.when i get to three 4TB i will transition to a raidz, time frame is dependent on HDD sales. With freeNAS can i set up my current drive to be individuals so that i do not have to pool them and the data being reduced to the smallest drive?
3rd Can i set up a torrent client for downloads and seeding since the NAS will be on 24/7?
4th What plays nice with freeNAS so i can do on the fly trans-coding to devices both on the network and remote access.
5th with the initial 4TB HDD will i be able to set up snapshot for all three drives for periodic back up?
Thank you for the help
