Hi and welcome to all I'm new to the FreeNAS but I did read it from around year about it and was trying to buy/build one, but with lack of time (working 6 days per week) I started to look for ready made servers.
And few days ago I did found one which I did like it and I hope its not so bad.I did win on ebay for about £300 with postage and its brand new (but not so new)
Supermicro server SYS-6027R-WRF http://www.supermicro.com/products/system/2U/6027/SYS-6027R-WRF.cfm
CPU:Intel® Xeon® processor E5-2609 @ 2.40GHz (Quad Core)
MB: Super X9DRW-iF
RAM:8GB
PSU: 80 platinum 740 1+1
Case: SC825TQ-R740WB 2U
I hope it will be OK for my needs please let me know if something is not right.
I do not have any HDD yet but will go for the RED's
I'm not need for massive storage then will look for 1TB or 2TB I have 8 bays should I use all or not?
maybe buy 4tB but use half of bays?
Please help what will be the best, Mostly I will using for file back up from 2 mac's 2 iPad, 3 iPhone's
For PLEX possible 2 clients in same time maybe more (not sure if will need trans-coding)if any friends will want share they movie collections with me XD
lastly for torrents (was thinking to use single HDD for it in separate pool if will die then nothing important will be lost)
Lastly for this moment I can buy lets say 4 HDD 1TB, 3 2TB, 2 3TB then I have short budget right now not to mention I need to buy another 8 GB memory to make 16GB total.
What you guys thinking about buying used HDD? I did see used 2TB red for £50 per one and this person have 5 of them maybe will give me discount if i take them all, warrant till February 2016 I should upgrade some of them till feb.
Thank you for any help and comments good and bad one.
