Hi Everyone,
I want to build a NAS that is easily serviceable for my music studio.
The usage will be to archive Protools and Cubase projects with cloud back (G-Drive), and some kind of private cloud or VPN to give access to my collaborators working on and off site.
Is it too powerful for the job? Should I use it as a virtualized server instead running PfSense and FreeNAS? Do you foresee any incopatibility with the hardware (I read the latest hardware guide, and picked parts according to it)?
I already own CPU, Motherboard and RAM, all brand new, never used. I had them as a spare for a workstation server build. Looking for suggestions to complete the build and put it to work.
Thanks in advance!
2 x e5-2609 2.4 GHz
16 x Samsung 8GB 1Rx4 PCL - 12800R 11-12-C2-D3
1 x Supermicro X9DRH-7TF https://www.supermicro.com/products/motherboard/Xeon/C600/X9DRH-7TF.cfm
1 x LSI Broadcom SAS 9300-8i
4 x 3.5 WD Red 4TB 5400RPM 64MB Cache WD40EFRX
2 x Transcend 32GB MLC SATA III 6Gb/s 2.5" SSD TS32GSSD370S (For OS).
