Hi everyone, thanks for clicking on this post.
I am exploring my NAS options and I really like how FreeNAS offers ZFS support. I have several terabytes of documents, files, and media that I want to store in my own home, and know that the integrity is protected and all data is backed up. I'm aware that typical FreeNAS setups are pretty big, like 6 drives big with raidz-2 recommended, etc.
I am interested in just a 2x4TB setup in mirror mode. I already have both hard drives. I would also be syncing this data to Google Drive on a daily basis as my offsite backup. I would also be making monthly backups onto an external cold storage hard drive.
My use would be to mount this as a network share. I am also interested in writing and keeping notes with an app available on my iPhone. I am currently using a Synology DS220j however it doesn't have btrfs support, so that's why I am looking to get a new setup.
Appreciate your help!
