Hello,
I was building computers back in the '90s and early 2ks but haven't done that for a while. While using iMac, MacBook, Lenovo Thinkpads and as storage Synology I haven't build any computer for ages.
My Synology DS415play does not satisfy my demands to PLEX anymore, so I would need to get a new one. I build a custom PC for the same price as the DS1019+.
I do have:
and:
Once the 8TB from the USB is copied to the Raid-Z pool, I would like to have the 8TB as a single disk in the PC case (how to config/call that?). The data will then copied back to the 8TB disk. Once it is there, I would like to erase the Raid-Z pool and create a Raid-Z2 (or mirrored?) Pool out of the 3x 4TBs to have a data storage for my Pictures and Documents (off-site backup is provided in OneDrive).
The 2x 3TB I would also like to put in as a single drives: one will be the target of a DVR (network) and the other will host the Kids Plex library (moving from the 8TB, where currently are all the Plex Libraries).
The Corsair Force Series MP300 240GB, M.2 should become the drive where I host VMs (backing them up to the 3x 4TB (with redundancy) Pool).
Beside FreeNAS I would like to use some plugins/docker/VMs:
Regards
Chris
