Hello FreeNAS Community,
I do not have background in Linux as I use Windows solely for my work. I recently decided to add a NAS to my home so I can stop losing data on my WD Green Drives. A total of 3 has failed.
My current setup
3960X
Asus REIV
2 x CORSAIR Dominator Platinum 32GB (4 x 8GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 Desktop Memory Model CMD32GX3M4A1600C9
256GB OCZ Vertex 4
120GB OCZ Vertex (Download)
WD GREEN 1TB (DATA)
I have other WD drives offline: WD RE 7200 1TB, WD Portable drives 1TB, WD Blue 2.5 250GB (Laptop drive)
I have few things I like to ask of the community.
If I convert this desktop to NAS would this be over kill? I thought about using ASRock Avoton.
This setup is missing support for ECC.
I would like to add quad link network card and 10gigabit switch from netgear managed.
