Hi everyone. I am new here
I have a Qnap TS-410 and it is getting old and slow. Looking for something new and I became enthousiastic when I ran into the freeNAS/trueNAS. I read somewhere to better ask first than rather buy the components and ask later. So here I am asking perhaps silly questions. There is so much to read. And maybe this helps me speed things up a bit.
So this is what I would like to do.
Use the casing of the qnap TS-410 to build a trueNAS core from it because I think this fits me most. It has 4 bays which is more then enough. I have 2 WD30EFRX red nas drives 3 TB in mirror raid. Which I would like to migrate directly into trueNAS. Is this possible to migrate it without losing the data on it?
Further more.
It is used for home purposes.
File sharing and Photos/video's (Plex)
Streaming 4k hdr for example (netflix or other)
Kodi
Maybe some future stuff I don't know yet.
Should the mobo have HDMI 2 or 2.1? And is this all possible with truenas core? Can it be connected directly to a tv.
It will need a Mini ITX 170x170 to fit in.
What do you people think? Is it good to go for?
I have been looking into the hardware requirements and maybe I need to cut into the case to make some things fit in. But the size dies matter. This one fits perfectly in my fusebox.
I was aiming at the following future hardware
heavy transcoding
1x 10gbe should be sufficient as I only have
1x gbps available port on router and perhaps it is overdone.
16 or 32 gb ecc ram (ecc required?)
An xeon processor not sure what is best yet.
I find it difficult so far to find the right suitable components motherboard and cpu and required ram.
Thanks for any advice and your time for getting me on the right track. It is much appreciated.
