I have recently recycled an older HP server (dual Xeon, w/ 72G ram) and an HP P410 Hardware RAID card. I have the RAID configured as a RAID 5 and have Citrix XenServer 6.x installed on it.
I am considering running FreeNAS as a VM on it to create a NAS for the house as well as easy Plex server, etc.
Is it worth running FreeNAS if I already have a hardware raid solution? Will I be limiting myself since I only have a single Virtual drive to present to FreeNAS when creating my disks?
Thanks,
Eric
