Sorry, I haven't been active much on this forum. I guess that is all good. 2 years ago I built a FreeNAS box to use as a backup file server at work. It has been humming along for 2 years with no problems. I have had to restore a snapshot twice. One time, someone (probably me) deleted a large directory of documents and I got that back easily from the snapshot.
1-1/2 years ago I built another FreeNAS to house about 500 movies in MKV format as a PLEX server. That one is working well too. It is at home.
When things just hum along good and I can get my other work done without messing with a server, or worrying about it, my life is much more serene.
So, I am thinking about building another one at work so that I can have another level of backup.
Just picking through NewEgg. I built my last one with an 1150 mobo, are the 1151's the preferred ones now?
Here is a link to my last Server build: https://forums.freenas.org/index.php?threads/build-advice.38344/#post-231704
Here is my Newegg wish list:
