Hi Guys,
I need to build myself a FreeNAS server for RaidZ2 and have been doing some research for hardware selection but came across this;
http://www.ixsystems.com/storage/freenas/
Is the FreeNAS Mini any good interns of the hardware that's implemented into the unit? as I'm looking to build myself a server on a budget of £1000 and can't help but think this would be a better approach? as these sell in the range from £600 - £1000 depending on the storage capacity.
So my question is would I be better off sticking to my original plan on building a server or investing into one of these?
My original build specs were probably going to be something along the line of this;
Processor: Intel Core I3 or maybe a Intel Xeon E3-1270v3
Motherboard: Asrock E3C226D2I
Ram: 2 X Kingston 8GB 1600Mhz ECC Ram KVR16R11D4/8
HDD: 5 or 6 3TB WD Reds
Case: Lan Li PC-Q18
