Hi everyone,
I am new on freenas and always wanted to build something but always postponed because of lack of time.
For now I am using one Synology DS212j but it become very complicate to use as the hardware inside is not performant and very limited.
At first I wanted to build a Mini-ITX configuration to take the same space than what I have but I read that it is difficult to evolve the config, difficult for the cable management .
The usage will be for home use :
Plex (one stream up to 4k)
Backup of my pc, wife pc, phones
Virtualisation (test OS)
Download torrent ( I have a 10 GB line fiber)
My budget will be ~ 2000$ I can over a bit if needed.
I already have some pieces of hardware that I can re use :
Fans : 2x Noctua NF-A14 PPC 2000 PWM (140mm,)
CPU Cooler : 1x Corsair H75 AIO
RAM : 4x Corsaire Dominator GT 4GB (16 GB in total)
HDD : 2x WD Red 2TB (4TB in total) - Already running on my synololgy but will be able to re use for the freenas build
My wish is to have someting which is easy to maintain and to upgrade
What will be your advise for that budget ?
Thank you
