While I am definitely not new to building computers; I am new to creating a NAS, and I want this one to have very low power and be inexpensive.
Hardware:
Hardware:
- MOBO+CPU: ASRock Q1900B + Intel Celeron J1900 - Quad Core (2.0GHz)
- RAM: Patriot Signature 4GB - DDR3 SODIMM - 1333Mhz (1.35V)
- HDD: Hitachi 2TB - SATA 3.0 Gb/s - 7200RPM
- Cost: $256 (Case and PicoPSU w/ Brick not shown)
- UFS
- Home Backup
- Store and stream music & movies (1 stream/time) with Plex.
- Use another external 2TB with rsync as secondary backup.
Full Disk Encryption? (if CPU power permits)
- There is a compatibility issue with my CPU in FreeNAS 9.2.1.5, and it's not clear if this has been fixed in version 9.2.1.6. If this is not the case, I would need some direction on how to patch & rebuild FreeNAS.
- Uncertain if CPU is powerful enough for Plex
(especially with FDE). Searching other forums suggests that it is, but I'm not sure if there is a performance hit since it's using a FreeBSD jail.
