[Edit] Sorry, I forgot to change the title before submitting as I changed my question while writing this post. And I can't seem to find a way to change the title or delete the post. Anyways, the title should be, Can I use different size HD for RAID?
Hi,
I'm interested in installing FreeNAS on a spare computer I have with 1 SSD and 1 TB HD, 8 GB ram.
I'm thinking of putting the OS on the SSD and just using the HD as the NAS b/c I have 2 other computers in the house and I want one central location for my files.
I have an actual d-link NAS which I want to sell and take the 1 HD out and use it in conjunction my 1 TB drive. It's 1.5 TB.
Two Questions:
1. Can I use FreeNAS for RAID even though the HD sizes are different?
2. Right now, this computer is connected to my entertainment system (TV and receiver). I also use it as an alternative to Roku or WD Live. Once FreeNAS is installed, can I browse the net using FreeNAS.
Thanks.
