Hello all.
After browsing the forums for quite some time, i can't find a good answer to my questions.
I hope someone can help me :)
FreeNAS 11 or just use Windows 10 with shared folders?
At the moment i'm using a WD My cloud Mirror gen 1 NAS system, but its very slow so Plex server app is a no go.
I'm about to buy a new gaming PC, so my old one wich are running a Plex server in windows 10 Pro could be my new NAS / plex server
My needs.
Plex Server Often 3 streams at one time ( on my own network ).
Storage ( NAS ).
Time machine backup. ( Would not be easy to set up on Windows 10, without some workarounds )
Maybe Owncloud.
Windows 10 pro, RDP or Teamviewer. I know that it needs to be in a VM. ( I'm a small business owner, and sometimes i need to login to my own machine to do client stuff, as my day job really love to block stuff :) ) The windows 10 VM would have to run almost 24/7, i would not want to turn it on and off all the time, but it would not be used much and when in use the tasks will be small, like doing a bit of work in Wordpress or do some coding.
My hardware for this will be.
CPU - Intel i5-4690k.
Motherboard - MSI z97M-G43.
Ram - Kingston DDR3 HyperX Beast 16GB.
SSD - Crucial MX300 M.2 ( Would be for VM’s )
2x WD red 4TB.
And a USB 16 or 32GB to run FreeNAS Should this be USB 2 or 3 ?
