Would OMV be sutable for me ?

Ali777 · 1. Januar 2016

Hello,

I have a PC with these specs

Intel i3-4160
GA-h81m-s2h
Kingston 8GBx1
Evga 500 W1

I will be upgrading soon to a new machine and I intend to use this one for a NAS
Now I know that I don't have an ecc ram, so I don't know if running a server in this machine is a good idea ?
My main usage will be for storing movies and TV shows along with some personal photos
I need also to use PLEX server to stream movies

what do you think ? will OMV be a good choose for me ?
especially running the NAS without ecc ram

That will work fine. You don't need ECC.

I have a old XP machine running OMV with duo core 2 core 1.8 GHz CPU and 4GB RAM. Your balling with those specs

If you want to run virtual machines you might go for at least an i5.

Thank you, Planning to use it soon

I know you already got your answer, but I agree with everyone above. I'm using a much lower spec PC than what you have and get wonderful results. I'm also not using ECC RAM, although I probably would if my board was capable. I would not go out and buy something that is capable just for this purpose, though.

I hope you enjoy, and look forward to hearing about your experience here on the forum!
