Hello omv community
I've been lurking around the omv forum for a while now, trying to figure out a preferred build for a NAS/Media Server which complies to my requirements.
Using other threads, online research and my requirements I've composed a build.
I have never build a NAS and would like some feedback on this build. Does it meet my requirements? What could/should I do differently?
Requirements
- playback of Movies/Tv shows to a Raspberry Pi
- 1080p transcoding
- Storage of family/vacation pictures (important for WAF)
- Storage of personal documents
- Redundancy AND backup of Pictures and documents
- Download content automatically
Hardware
- OS: Sandisk Cruzer Fit 16 GB (maybe 2x and put them in RAID 1?) - I know about Plex Metadata taking up alot of space and will move the location.
- Storage RAID1: Western Digital Red 2 TB (2x - used for pictures and documents)
- Storage JBOD or RAID5?: Western Digital Red 4 TB (JBOD) or Western Digital Red 6 TB (RAID5) (4x - movies and tv shows)
what would you guys recommend? JBOD or RAID5? Sort of on the fence here between "I can just download show X or movie Y again" and "will I be able to find X or Y again" - Case: Fractal Design Define Mini
- Motherboard: ASRock Z270M Extreme4
- RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX Black 8GB DDR4-3000
- CPU: Intel Core i3 7100 - 3,9 Ghz
- PSU: Be quiet! Pure Power 10 300W
Software
- OMV 3.x
- Plex Media Server
- Software used to create multiple raids
- Software used to automatically download content
- OpenVPN
-All advice/input/comment is welcome-
Thanks guys!
