Hello,
reading various official hardware sizing guides and user builds I find it hard to decide how much CPU horsepower I'll need for my use-case.
I'm planning to build a FreeNAS box that uses very little power <80W when idling with 12-16 drives but has high performance and throughput when needed for Plex, Backup and file transfer.
So what so I plan to do with it?
1. PLEX for 3-6 users with trandcoding FullHD movies
2. downloading with sonarr, radarr, lidarr
3. iSCSI storage for proxmox
4. Backup server
5. Storage for Home surveillance
6. Database server
All in all it will be the central data storage for everything in my network.
I thought about an 8c/16t Intel Xeon nur maybe something less powerful is already sufficient.
I'm looking foward to your suggestions and feel freue to ask further questions. :)
