Hi everyone
Excuse my spelling, I am not a native speaker. I will build my first freenas build. I will use it mostly for Plex data, maybe some iSCSI VMs later on. I like to have seperate hardware for separate purposes, that is why I will not use FreeNAS for Plex or VMs. The system should be cheap and low power.
Here is my build list. Any tips or stuff I should look out for?
I like the motherboard, because it already has two nics and a total of 14 drives.
The CPU I choose because of Hardware AES and low power consumption.
