Good morning all,
Firstly thanks for taking the time to read this, hopefully someone can point me in the right direction.
I am building a Freenas box to act as a file storage device for backups and to stream content internally to my Raspberry Pi (in 720p quality)
My PC has a data drive which backs up to another internal drive and then that drive backs up to my NAS.
I have just finished collecting my hardware for my freenas build. I found i was getting some extreme speed issues with my off the shelf Buffalo NAS (15-20MB/s)
I tried Freenas on a spare PC i had and instantly got 111MB/s so am happy with that.
My system specs are as per below:
So I know that this is slightly mismatched (especially the PSU) however it is all spare kit i had laying about.
I was planning on running FreeNas on a USB stick and using all 4 drives on the sata ports on my motherboard however i'm wondering if it would be better to run it on SSD and only use 3 of the 2tb drives?
I would like the option to replace one drive at a time to increase storage in the future (replace 2tb to 4tb drives)
