Hello,
I'm just starting to do my research on FreeNas and I'm looking to build a setup that will likely be overkill for now as a home storage system. I'm much more experienced on the software and development side of things, but I don't know much about the hardware. So, I was hoping I could get some validation, feedback on the parts I have currently selected below and to ensure I'm not missing anything that might give me headaches later on.
The RAID configuration I'm looking at is Z3 for a reliable storage unit I can utilize over the next 5 to 10 years. Overall usage will be VM Lab environment, media host, website host and backup data from other machines. Of smaller importance, I may also use it to host multiple Minecraft servers in parallel. For the size, I've gained about 3 TB (6 total) of data this year and expect it to grow to 12 to 16 TB over the next 5 years.
Thanks!
