Hi people,
let me sum up: I want to build a centralized storage for my house. I found that Freenas is the right way to go, so here I am.
My net landscape:
ISP-> FTTH 100/50 Mb With rebranded FRITZ!Box 3390 under the layer of ISP management.
Devices Connected to the net.
2 x Windows Desktop (1 multimedia high end, 1 multiporpose for net surfing and office)
5 x Laptop (Windows: 2 multimedia, 2 gaming) (Macbook Air)
6 x Phones (5 Android, 1 Iphone
3 x Tablet ( Windows, Android and iPad)
3 x Ebook reader
1 x Multimedia TV
2 x TV Box
2 x Printer/scanner
Obviously they are not working at the same time, but the net is overpopulated. Only wired devices are: High end desktop, TV and TV box. The rest are on 2.4 and 5 ghz Wi-Fi
My problem:
I use to keep imporatant files synced at least between two computers with resilio, plus everybody has its own dropbox, drive... and some high capacity flash drives, and me always asking for them to do their backups in external drives. But some recend dead disks has shown me that this system is no longer (it was working past my own computers??? i doubt it) working.
I want to have a centralized and automated backup system, with at least the most important devices synced (2 desktop, 2 laptop, 3 phone).
Also streaming/serving multimedia files to devices (i had no plans for 4k, so they will be 1080 for the next few years).
Keep system images plus, file archive for or photos etc.
Some other nice functins that i wuld love to centralize, but i dont even know if it can be done, music archive/player, ebook archive (any calibre plugin...?) and probably man other things i cant imagine.
But, by now, all the functions i can achive are a bit overwhelming to me, so i will start with the bulding project.
The ardware:
I had been lurking and reading the forums for a few weeks so I THINK, that i had something near to be able to work. ANY ADVISE is welcome and really apreciated as I can be totally wrong with my choices.
Board X11SSL-CF: it has the aditional SAS so i can populate with more disks aftewards.
Ram Kingston kvr21r15s4/16 (starting with one, yes lacking for the amount of TB i had but in a few time i will add another one. Does not apear in the board compatibility, so i will like to hear your sugestions, but kingston seems fine to me.
CPU: Xeon 1230 V6. I thinks is more horsepower than enought for what i want, but i dont mind if any bigger is needed.
Disk: I will start with 4x WD Red 8tb for the "important" files, and 2x WD shucked WD80EZAZ to keep multimedia and non-important files.
Case: Node 804, small enought and able to be populated with 10 disk. I see it to be easy modable to fit a lot more disk if i print new brackets, keeping an adecuated cooling. I had a few spare noctua fans over here.
PSU: I love seasonic, but to keep cost down, i will use a 600W LC-Power 650GP3 (i know jhonnyguru hates them, but this update will arrive in a few months, but i need to keep cost downs while investing in the most important hardware.
CPU cooling: I will start with stock cooler, i dont mind to delid the processor to keep it cool. If needed i can update later to any better cooler.
Boot drive: Here i had a 60Gb ssd that seems nice for it, but i read here that most people uses USB3.0 drives... can anyone explain me why they are better choice?
Regarding to the disk distribution, RaidZ1 seems the best way to go for the 4 disk. Can i later expand (without removing the data) to Raid Z2 just by adding 4 disk more? This way i can start with 20tb and later exand to more safe 40tb of usable space. For the non-important files, JBOD or just keep them independant?
Any idea on how to improve that?
PS: sorry for my english, but that's a nice way to practice a bit this too.
