Eli Brown

Main:
Server 2012 R2
FX 8300
8GB
9TB ReFs Parity Volume
2TB ReFs Mirror Volume
Backup:
1. HP Microserver w/FreeNas 8
4GB EEC Ram
7.1TB Raid Z1
2. Zyzel 540 Nas
12TB Raid 5
Other: WHS 2011 w/4GB & 1TB HDD (Client Backups/Ftp Site)
At later date plan to replace the main server with another HP Microserver w/16GB EEC ram and FreeNas os. The WHS 2011 server w/client backups will be migrated to the main server's hardware and take on Media Streaming duties plus FTP server duties. This will do a few things, 1 reduce my electric bill a bit, maintain data integrity/protection (enhance it a bit to since I'll be using Raid Z2), and take up less space. This is like a domino effect though since while I'm doing all this, the server/network "corner" of my basement will be redone plus storage room where all this stays will be redone to.

--> Quick Questions Quick Replies Why would I want a NAS/Homeserver?
If you ask why then you don't need it.
>I want a NAS/HTPC/Plex what should I get?
RPi3 or Odroid XU4/HC1. Odroid upper models has USB 3 and USB bus separated from the Ethernet one.
>B-But muh ARM
Then check the onboard x86 like J4105B-ITX, J4205B-ITX or J4205-ITX. All of them have SATA and USB 3.
>What's the best [software] for doing [ask]?
Specify you question and elaborate. If you want help put something from your side.
>Which disk is better for my homeserver?
The general opinion minus some details are that WD Greens are enough if you deactivate parkdrive, and WD Red are Green overpriced. Also Toshiba and HGST are pretty good.
