Hi,

I'm new to FreeNAS, although have been running servers and networks at home for many years, previously always using COTS NAS's (typically QNAP) for my storage needs.

I'm now looking at building a FreeNAS box to start to consolidate a lot of the other systems I have in my house into a single box (Web server, Wordpress site, Plex server, Storage etc), and to relegate the QNAP boxes as pure backup devices.

Been in IT for over 30 years, and this is very much an indulgence project for me, so the machine I'm building is vastly overspecc'd for what it will do. However, I run an IT department by day so this is my geek fix for the evenings/weekends.

Currently acquiring the hardware I need to start building, and will definitely have some questions shortly over in the forums.
