Hi guys,
I am planning my first FreeNAS Build after reading up on some basics - I hope I didn’t miss too much of them - in this forum and some linked guides. After trying FreeNAS out on a VM, I want to begin with a smaller capacity pool and spend a larger portion of my budget on the other hardware.
Use Case: NAS for Media (incl Streaming) and Backup-Storage for Documents. Plus a few jails.
Location: I live in Germany - used gear seems hard to come by and new gear is equally expensive/cheap. I used the following price comparison / search engine: www.heise.de/preisvergleich
The “General Requirements” were gather in this forum or FreeNAS documentation.
Parts:
Did I miss any (important) Requirements or Incompatibilities? Any feedback will be appreciated :)
