Hello!
First time posting and I have read as much as I could before posting here but am a little confused.
I inherited an unfinished hardware list from a friend;
SAMSUNG 970 EVO Plus SSD 250GB - M.2
MSI B550M PRO-VDH WiFi ProSeries Motherboard (AMD AM4
Corsair Vengeance LPX 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 DRAM 3200MHz
AMD Ryzen 5 3600 6-Core.
I had 5xSeagate IronWolf 4TB NAS Internal Hard Drive HDD.
I was wanting to put this together and install FreeNAS on it and wanted to run (FN) Software RAID with all 5 drives but the MB only he 4 ports. Is there a recommended PCIE SATA RAID Card add on I should get? I’ve looked them up but became overwhelmed.
Is this hardware, though maybe overkill, supportive of a FreeNAS server?
just for movies really.
thank you for any help people!
