Hi to all,
Actually, I have some Synology NAS, 2x 12bay, 2x 4 bay...Disk size are all 6 To, maybe I upgrade it later, all current volume are composed of 2x SATA disks in RAID 1.
Synology hardware is very expensive and I would like to migrate my Synology Diskstation 2x12 bay to a 24bay chassis at a decent price.
FreeNAS seems an interesting opportunity, so I plan to make my own setup.
So I need your precious advice to have correct setup.
My needs: SMB with Windows workstation, DLNA for TV, future needs VMs/Containers on the NAS
I list what I need to buy below :
> with ? my suggestion, tell me if it's a good idea or suggest me a better ;)
> in bold the hardware that I have, I would like to reuse, if it's a bad idea, please tell me
> when it's blank, I need your advice to complete
Many thanks for your help.
