Hello from Montreal!
At the non profit where I work, I am on a mission to setup a NAS server to migrate to in the coming months. Eventually, I will upgrade the hardware, but for now I'm running on this hardware that was available, save the brand spanking new NAS and portable HDDs:
Intel Core 2 Duo E7500 @ 2.93 GHz
6GB DDR3 Ram (non ECC) - less than recommended, I know but good for testing purposes so far, and for the learning curb
Lenovo motherboard
3 x 1TB WD Red = 1,8TB total data
2 x 16GB Lexar USB drives
2 x backup portable drives on a weekly rotation of 1 TB each (we need about 15% of that so far).
It's been a positive experience so far, including the problems I am running into as I write this, which teach a great lesson in using FreeNAS and running a server.
We're a small team, so "bigger" hardware is not a pressing issue so far, plus we're not "live" yet.
See you around!
