Hello, how are you all!
Me and my father have this "dream" that hopefully FreeNAS can help become a reality! well.. if not, im sure you guys can point me in the right direction...
sooo, without further adieu: here are my requisites:
I think all of this can be realised however there is obviously a limiting cost factor as always. We dont necessarily want a full blown HTPC, we just want a small discreet system that we can use similar to cloud based storage that we have ownership of.
Is this all possible and would someone be able to take a look at a spec build to see if its plausable?
(lastly, would it be better to run free-nas on a SSD with two HDD's in raid for storage only?)

sooo, without further adieu: here are my requisites:
- Networked storage where multiple people can access files at once.
- The ability to either plug-in to a TV or stream to a samsung smart tv
- RAID array support with the ability to notify if a drive is down
- Accessible from another PC on another network connection (connect to the network online)
- the ability to shove this thing into our dining room and leave on constantly (control temperature on high/low usage and or monitor temps from the net?)
- run simple scripts, I want to automate a few things like go through each folder on the machine and print its contents once a week.
- connect to our sonos system.
