I'm new to FreeNAS but is considering setting up a home server. My main areas of interest would be as a back-up server for the other computers, phones and so forth, plex media server, a VPN tunnel for the network, a cloud service and torrenting.
I think that the parts I've chosen might be a bit over the top for my needs (as the home network don't include that many clients), but I would like the system to be future proof in the sense that it's expandable and won't be short in power in a few years.
Fractal Design Node 304
Be-Quiet Straight Power BQT E9 CM 480W
Supermicro X10SL7-F
Intel Core i3 4150 3,5 GHz
2x Samsung Server DDR3L PC12800/1600MHz ECC CL11 LV 8GB
3x WD Red WD30EFRX 64 MB 3TB
SanDisk USB 3.0 Cruzer Extreme 16 GB (or if USB 3.0 is a bad choice a similar USB 2 stick)
Is there something I should think about related to the above? Is it perhaps taking water over my head thinking that there are guides for all of my needs that I can follow as I have no past knowledge of the system?
Thankful for all the help you can give me!
