This is what my FreeNAS i just put together as a noob
Intel core i5 2500k (spare CPU laying around)
GA-Z77x-UD3h (Gigabyte Mobo, unable to use ECC - Ram :( )
Corsair Dominator 8GB Single RAM Stick
Just purchased 2x 3TB WD Reds (Damn expensive!) setup as a Mirror for now
NZXT H2 Classic Silent Case (Wicked case! barely hear noise!)
1x 2TB WD Green
1x 750GB WD Green
1x 320GB WD Black
These 3 mix-hhds are setup as a Raidz
I figured i'd use Mirror for now with my Reds as that where my data will mainly be stored for Home use only (Movies,Pictures,Music)
And use the Raidz as a Jail for plugins.
I tried to put a Raidz2 on but i only got like 1.3TB of free space and i needed at least 3 tb so that didn't work out and i didn't want to spend another $300 on drives :( maybe in the future i'll get more
This was a budget build with spare parts i had laying around
So far i'm happy with my setup! I installed Plex media and started watching my movies normally!
I know its best to get ECC Ram and a ECC motherboard but i am unable to find a LGA 1155 socket Motherboard for my i5 2500k without busting the bank
Just thought i'd share :)
If anyone has suggestions for my setup please feel free!
