So, I'm building a home server mainly accessed over SMB - primarily weekly backups of the home computers, storing phone/camera pictures and videos, and assorted media. Looking to "upgrade" from a directly-attached Stablebit Drivepool to a network-attached TrueNAS.
I have the following drives and am wondering how to best make use of them (and my tentative use cases for each):
Does this sound like a plan? I have 32GB of RAM, enough ports for all 9 SATA drives thanks to an LSI HBA card (still need to stuff them into a Jonsbo N1 though lol), and a 2.5G home network.
