BUILD First freenas build

[docspool]

Hello,

After reading the hardware recommendations, here is my config. What are your comments...

The use is limited to a backup of my personal data (photos, videos, etc ...), movies access on the network for media center. My plan is to get an owncloud online too

Crucial DDR3 8 Go (2 x 4 Go) 1600 MHz CL9 ECC DR
Intel Pentium G3220
ASRock E3C224D2I
450W Gold power supplie

2*4TB HDD from actual NAS

Thanks!!!

Good CPU and board choice for a home-only solution. Definitely go with a single 8GB stick instead of 2x4GB though, that leaves you room to expand to 16GB down the road if you choose.

What brand are the HDDs?

You can maybe find the Dell T20 or Lenovo TS140, which run 4 HDDs just fine, for a comfortable price. Just add at least another 8GB RAM, done.
