Hello
I am new to this site.
I am building my first nass server so I need all the help I can get.
I just have a couple of questions. I have been using freenas in VMware.
My main goal is to download movies and music and some folders and family photos and stream them to at least 3 pads and three TVs which which are 5040 are big 60. 50. 40 so I need to stream them at 180p. Is it possible to do this all at the same time without any buffering. My Internet speed download is about about 50MB upload about 10 MB.
1. I am thinking about buying MBD-X10SAT-O Supermicro ATX Motherboard Intel C226 Chipset LGA1150 SATA3 / USB3.
2. Hard drives not to sure if I'm going have 8 or 12 drives all of them will be 3 TB.
3. ram I have read you need 1 gb for every terabyte but the motherboard in question maximum 32 gig would I get away with that.
4. How much ram do I need for the operating system zfs raid 5.
5. What is the best raid controller supporting 3 TB with on board ram if I've got that right bearing in mind my budget is roundabout £150/£200.
6. Power supply is assuming I go for sata 12 drives I was thinking roundabout 500w and hard drives enclosures with fans and 3/4 PC case fans.
7. What PCU processor should I be looking for.
Any advice would be most appreciated
thanks Paul
