Hi, my name is Bas, I'm from the Netherlands, and this is my first post on the forum..
Since I'm looking forward to having my own home media server which I can use to backup my precious data, stream HD movies and photographs to my television, play music, etcetera.., i've read a lot about NAS servers lately.
Enough chit chat, here's te build that I'm thinking about:
Casing: Lian Li PC-V358 (black)
Powersupply: be quiet! Pure Power L8 530W CM
Memory: Crucial Ballistix Sport 16GB Kit (8GBx2) DDR3 1600 BLS2KIT8G3D1609DS1S00
Processor: Intel Pentium Processor G3240 64bit (3M Cache, 3.10 GHz) BX80646G3240
Motherboard: ASUS Mini ITX DDR3 2600 LGA 1150 Motherboards H97I-PLUS
Hard drives: 2x Western Digital WD Green 3TB WD30EZRX
Network card: Intel Gigabit CT PCI-E Network Adapter EXPI9301CTBLK
USB (for the OS): SanDisk Cruzer Fit 16GB USB 2.0 Low-Profile Flash Drive
OS: FreeNAS
Planning to use RAID 1 from start.
Please, fire away at my build, I've still got much to learn.
I've seen discussions stating WD RED drives are better then WD GREEN when it comes to IDLE state, but some say you can alter the IDLE to 300 and it works fine.
Did I overpower some parts, or is it in balance?
