Hi;
as longer i read around FreeNAS i get unsecure more and more if its the right product for our purposes...
Usually i build up large Systems using Ubutu LTS or MS Server - but i want to give FreeNAS a try because it looks quit easy to
configurate and maintain...
Actually i have a new Server with this hardware:
2x Intel Xeon E5-2603v4
32GB ECC Reg DDR4 2666
some SSD Bootdrive
16x 12 TB SATA III WD 3,5" 7.2k (512e) - 14 of them running as a RAID 6 on a
Broadcom (LSI/Avago) MegaRAID 9361-8i + Cache Vault = 140TB
10GBit LAN
The Server should run some a Samba Shares for 10-15 People using it for transferring big data between 20 Workstations. The Server should also be an "anker" for a large Backup /Archive solution using bacula or bareos (+LTO Tape Library) on some other server in the same area.
What do you think - is that machine above strong enough to server fast and big data transfer between the workstations and to the a backup-server? And btw - why is Freenas that hungry when it comes to Diskspace <-> RAM?
Thxs!
