New Nas Build

[stonesbg]

Right I need some help with a new NAS Build. I have pick FreeNas as my OS choice.

My requirements are as such.

Fast Storage
Raid 5 (Software) so I am thinking ZFS
Low Power up to 6 drives
Allow about 5 users access
Streaming of music and video

I have put these componets together and looking for some feedback as to what you think. I have chosen a motherboard that uses the new sata 3 and USB 3.0.

Fractal Design Array R2
Ocz Technology 128 GB Petrol Series SSD
6x Western Digital 3TB Caviar Green SATA WD30EZRX
Asus F1A75-l Deluxe
AMD A6-3500 FM1
Kingston 8GB Hyperx KHX1333C9D3B1K2/8G

I am hoping to get reads of about above 20mb/s.

I currently have a ReadyNas NV+ which is super crap. I get only about 2mb/s for my reads

Any help would be appreciated

unRaid or Freenas?

over a gigabit network you can expect to get ~100mb/s read & writes.

you don't need to spend so much on a motherboard and CPU.

Sata 2 works fine as well

Sorry meanth FreeNas

Will Sata 3 not give me anything extra? I just thought seeing as the Hard drives were Sata 3 that I might get better through put.

I was getting the extra cpu to allow for concurrent users to access the nas box
