Hi,
After using a Netgear ReadyNAS Pro for several years, I have to migrate to another system. This is because Plex is one of the main reasons I have a NAS, and Plex no longer supports the ReadyNAS. Some people have kludged the ReadyNAS system to make it run Netgear's newer operating system, but I was never particularly happy with the OS on the ReadyNAS, and besides I wanted more horsepower and room for expansion.
So I just ordered most of the parts for my new system. Although I have lots of computer experience, this will be the first computer I've ever built. Here is the configuration:
CPU: Intel Xeon E3-1220 v5
MB: Supermicro X11SSH-F
RAM: Crucial CT2K8G4WFS824A in a 2x8 kit for 16GB (but see * below)
SSD: Adata Premier SP600NS34 M.2 2242 128 GB SATA 3 -- for OS, Swap space, and apps
HD: 3 x WD Red 4TB in RAID 5 configuration
Case: Rosewill RSV-L4000
PS: EVGA SuperNOVA 550 G2
* I just learned the RAM is on back order. Supermicro's list of compatible RAM is minimal, so I'm having trouble figuring out what other matched-pair kits of 2x8GB are compatible.
In any case, I've learned a great deal by lurking on this list, and now that I've signed up I'm looking forward to being a more active participant.
