Finally got around to building my FreeNAS server using an old PC. I just went through the wizard and may or may not have set everything up correctly.
I have 3 4TB hard drives, and I'm pretty sure I selected whatever freenas recommends for media (since it's mostly media). I think this is raid 5?
Now the main reason I wanted to set up freenas was to have a file server for both windows and linux, since I end up using linux more and more. I also want this to be my plex server.
I regularly back up all really important stuff on other media, so having more redundancy isnt that important. But some is better than none (what I currently have), so I think raid 5 or whatever it picks for me is good.
What options should I choose to set up a file server for mostly windows, but sometimes linux? I have zero experience with freenas, so im completely clueless when it comes to this.
Let me know what you guys think and if here is any other info I should post.
EDIT:
Here is my system:
Pentium G3258
MSI H81M-E34
8GB of RAM (non-ecc)
3 5TB Hard Drives (TOSHIBA X300 HDWE150XZSTA - OP was a typo)
Running FreeNAS 9.10 (newest version - downloaded beginning of April)
