So I've been lurking here for a while and now I"m ready to build a real FreeNAS box.What I'm looking for it to be able to do is fairly simple so all suggestions are welcome. What I want it to do is be a simple file server, hold non critical system/file backups, and to start a Plex server that currently will only be doing 1 4K and 1 HD stream at the very most. Most of the time it'll be just doing 1 of something but in the future it might get to 2 of some combo. Also, what's the concensus of desktop hdds vs NAS rated ones? I've seen places that say there's no major difference while others do. I've seen plenty of big name NAS' with desktop drives and last many years with no issues.
I do have the case already, Fractal R4.
Any and all suggestions welcome. Thank you!
