Hi guys, (question at the bottom if you want to skip my intro)
New to FreeNAS.org and just got my HDDs delivered to put in my first home NAS.
I've gone for a basic setup, but already imagining the realms of the possible with potential future setups. My hardware is:
Intel G3220 Pentium
MSI B85i
8GB RAM
Various gigabit switches around my house with lovely thick CAT6 cables running under the carpets (can definitely tell, but the GF hasn't noticed/told me off).
Some non-branded NAS case, with 4x lockable HDD trays in the front which currently have:
2x old 2TB drives I had in my PC beforehand
2x new HGST 3TB NAS drives.
I'm in the process of setting everything up, and just wanted to post an intro and ask a question:
Question: Is it possible to plug in USB devices such as cameras/usb drives etc into a FreeNAS computer?
If that is possible, then it must then be possible to create a job that moves/copies all data from that USB mount onto a freenas volume...
My idea being, have the box sat in my hall near the phone/key pot/shoes etc and be able to just plug a camera into the box after a day out filming/shooting and have it automatically remove everything from the camera and onto a drive I can then access from any of the other computers?
Sound good?
Best regards,
Jeff
