Hello,
New to the forums and new to Freenas. I am a current Windows Home Server user and I am looking at building something new.
I am hoping someone can give me some suggestions. I have read through some of the hardware recommendations and this is what I have decided on.
Case:
Silverstone Tek Premium Mini-ITX

Power Supply:
Silverstone Tek 450-Watts SFX Form Factor Full Modular Power Supply with 80 Plus Gold, SFX+12V single rail, ST45SF-G
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008VQ2Y4K/?tag=ozlp-20
Motherboard:
ASUS H87I-PLUS LGA 1150 Intel H87 Mini ITX Motherboard
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00CXIY468/?tag=ozlp-20
Ram
Crucial Ballistix Sport 16GB Kit (8GBx2) DDR3 1600 MT/s (PC3-12800) CL9 @1.5V UDIMM 240-Pin
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006YG9EEW/?tag=ozlp-20
Processor
Intel Core I3-4160 Processor 3.60 GHz, 2-Core LGA1150 Socket, Hyper-Threading
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00LV8U0VE/?tag=ozlp-20
Hard Drive
I will be using 4 6tb WD Red

The only thing that worries me about that build is the ram. Is it to low?
I was also looking at this build
Case:
Fractal Design Mini Case
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0085RR0TY/?tag=ozlp-20
Power Supply:
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00918MEZG/?tag=ozlp-20
Motherboard:

Ram
Crucial Ballistix Sport 32GB Kit (8GBx4) DDR3 1600 MT/s (PC3-12800) CL9 @1.5V UDIMM 240-Pin Memory BLS4CP8G3D1609DS1S00

Processor:
Intel Core i3-3240 Dual-Core Processor 3.4 Ghz 3 MB Cache LGA 1155
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0093H8GQG/?tag=ozlp-20
Hard Drives:
WD Red 6TB x4
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00LO3KR96/?tag=ozlp-20
Should I go with the second build so I can have more Ram? or would the first build be ok with 16 gb or ram and 24 tb storage?
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you
