Hey all
First post here, and new to building Nas
Need to build a shared drive for data access by roughly 40-50, for non critical storage
My best bet is a NAS system running freenas. Main goal shared storage and file sharing - mostly ai and psd files
Im fairly decent at building systems though never have done a NAS before
Couple of quick queries
Usage wise - will be light usage - mostly 8-10 people at max using it at a time,
Let me know, any help be appreciated

Couple of quick queries
- Is there a better alternative to drive share instead of nas
- Do i need a network card?
- Can i run Freenas without raid - basically as Jbod - dont wanna lose disk space with raid
- Do let me know if the below list seems fine and if the number of accesses would be fine
- MSI B450-A PRO/ Asrock X370 Pro4/ ASUS PRIME X370-PRO - am4 mobo
- Amd APU 2200g
- Corsair lpx 16GB DDR4 Ram 2400 x2
- Corsair RM1000x - ( overkill but need sata cables and this one is on sale, than lesser wattage psu have lesser sata cables and I rather not go for splitters, convertors )
- Seagate 4TB IronWolf Pro 7200RPM x4
- Crucial 120GB BX500 SATA III 2.5 -
- NZXT H440 - for the drive bays -
Usage wise - will be light usage - mostly 8-10 people at max using it at a time,
Let me know, any help be appreciated
