I spent quite some time playing with the ReadyNAS 4200. Now that I have all my data on there, I find that the performance is not very consistence. I was getting 110 Mbps U/D with or without LACP my transfer speed seems to have dropped to half of that now. Looking for something that work more consistence.
I've been reading about various opensource NAS OS and I think FreeNAS fit the bill. Would like to set it all up and never look at it again for a long time moving 5Tb around isn't fun to do. My NAS runs a nightly backup to a local server holding about 2.5Tb of can't afford to lose data which back up to Carbonite.
The readynas hardware
Motherboard OEM version of the SuperMicro X8SI6-F with integrated LSI SAS 2008
8Gb ECC RAM
CPU- X3450
12 Bay
would I be able to make freenas utilize all 12 ports?
This is installed for my home use, need to stream/share to Windows and Mac
Features I'd like:
Dual Drives redundant currently have 6 drives, 2x 1tb and 4x 2tb
FTP
Plex
Real time monitoring of the NAS system resources
Transmission (I believe I saw this add on)
