My hellos to all of you.. :)
I ve been a Windows user since ever..
My NAS consists of an Adaptec 71605h and about 14 drives (2tb-4tb)..
all my disks are NTFS.. (ofc - windows)
I use my server to stream media to my XBMC player (Photos, videos, etc)..
Using NFS Server ...
also i use Stablebit Drive Pool in order all my disks to be seen as one..
I have no experience with linux.. and i really dont like raid (dont shoot me please :) )..
What i really like would be an OS with minimal resources to provide me:
a) NFS
b) NTFS combatible? (i read that Freenas uses ZFS - so if possible to convert all my drives to ZFS)
c) DrivePool - Drive Bender ability (all drives to be seen as one)
d) JBOD... (no raid if possible please)..
e) Easy to setup - use
Is Freenas to deliver all the above?
or should i look for something else? - if there is an alternative ?
Thank you for your time
