What's going on everyone,
I'm a complete N00b at networking (as some of you have seen via my posts...), and, I figured I was a bit rude for not introducing myself...
Anyhow, I recently decided to get a new laptop for myself (it's quite stock, I'll list the specs in a minnute) and decided I wanted something like a, "cloud" storage but without having to pay a monthly fee, so I began my quest into searching up home networks and what-not, at first, I was looking at a WHS, and than later (I believe it was lifehacker) had posted about FreeNAS, and I was so intrigued by it (I am more of a designer(I design websites...(very basic))) so I decided to download everything, chuck it on a USB, and after realizing I had wiped my old laptop (specs in a minute...) decided that this was the thing for me :)
Anyways, time for a specs update...
Current Machine (not Freenas)
TOSHIBA Satellite P70-A
Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4700MQ CPU @ 2.40GHz (8 CPUs), ~2.4GHz
16384MB RAM
Intel(R) HD Graphics 4600
Nvidia GeForce GT 740M
1 x HGST 1TB Internal HDD
(I'll get the exact specs of the FreeNAS machine tomorrow...)
and currently I'm looking at ordering a few of the 3.5" Seagate Barracude 7200.12 1TB HDD, and setting those up as part of the NAS
Anyways, expect alot of questions from me, I'm just a newbie (and probably one of the younger ones (sorry, no offence meant to all you wise people))
