Hi,
I am using the below parts (chose the best for my need from what I can find where I live):
My wallet would prefer to go with 32GB instead of 64GB for RAM and for storage 4x8TB. And upgrade later based on my needs. However, I've read that this will not be possible because it is not possible to add drives to existing raidz2 setups? is there a way around this?
It will run FreeNAS with plex possibly (might do another machine for plex and mount FreeNAS shared drives). CPU might be an overkill but I couldn't find a motherboard that has 8 SATA ports except this one. and this is the cheapest 2066 cpu around.
Comments/suggestions/concerns please...
