So like so many people, I'm looking into building a NAS-server. It's going to be used by 2 users, on a public network at a school(if possible, if not I have to buy a ruter as well), as a backup service for a professional studio (each upload will be from 1-80gb).
My main problem is choosing the right hardware, I don't wan't to spend 600$ on something that won't work.
CASE: Fractal Design Array R2 (includes a 300w PSU)
-Perfect, with space for 6x3,5 drives. Which in my head means 9TB RAID 1.
MoBo: Asus P8Z77-I Deluxe (mini-itx, Z77, max 16gb of ram, 64bit)
-Can't seem to find the Intel® 82579V in the supported hardware list, so this mobo concerns me
Processor: Intel Pentium G2030 (Dual core 3.0GHZ)
- I've read that just about any processor will work. So this will be more than enough I asume ?
RAM:Crucial DDR3 BallistiX Tactical 16gb (1600mhz with Cl-8)
- I've read that I should have 1GB ram per 1TB. Will 16GB be enough for 6x3TB(18TB total) in RAID 1 with ZFS? Can't find any mini-itx mobo that support more than 16gb of ram).
Drives: WD Red 3TB NAS
- Starting out with 2x3TB
Boot: Corsair Flash Voyager 8gb
- I've read that a USB-stick should do the trick, soo.... yeah.
So... Any thoughts? Is there somebody here who tested this hardware on FreeNAS?
