Hi all,
I've just purchased a Dell T110 II (E3-1220v2 + 4Gb RAM) and am currently pondering how I'll configure it. I'll be scouring the forums hear looking for hints and tips.
Currently deliberating on:
- Are 5 drives enough for RAID-Z2?
- Should I run FreeNAS as a VM to allow use of other VMs for other uses?
- Will I meed more RAM?
- What is a sensible backup setup for a FreeNAS server?
- How good is FreeNAS for streaming and bittorrents?
Thanks all, I have some reading to do...
