Hi all,

New to freeNAS and planning to use my old Dell optiplex 330 PC with following config,

Intel Core 2 Duo E4500 Processor (2.2 GHz, 2 MB L2 cache, 800 MHz FSB),
4GB RAM, 2TB HDD)

Planning to run plex on this. average one user and max 2 users. Have 3 mobile devices + 2 laptops + tv with chromecast.

Expect advice on which version to choose.

Vista / Windows 7?

ZFS on FreeNAS requires a minimum of 8Gb of RAM, preferrably ECC. And, you'll need additonal RAM for Plex.

Your Optiplex 330 is probably 6+ years old. FreeNAS is designed to run on newer hardware.

You might want to look at NAS4free (www.nas4free.org), that might run on systems unsuitable for FreeNAS.
