Hello everyone,
I am new in the NAS world and also new to OMV. I wanted to have a NAS for a long time and have been searching around for a while now. I checked Synology, which I find to expensive. I checked FreeNas which I think is overkill for me and then I found OMV which I think is great!. I am rather familiar with Debian so that is a plus and it would suffice my needs I think.
I want to use my NAS as a file server, want to set up OwnCloud, use it as a download station with SabNZB, couchpotato etc. and I want to use it as a Plex media server to stream to just 1 or 2 devices.
I looked around and made a list of components which I think should be enough for what I want and have the possibility to upgrade if needed.
CASE: Fractal Design Node 304
MB: ASRock Z87E-ITX 100 6xSATA+Intel LAN
CPU: Intel Core i3-4160 OR Pentium G3258
RAM: Crucial CT102464BA160B 8GB DDR3
PSU: Cooler Master GM G550M
DISKS: 3x WD Red SATA 6 Gb/s WD20EFRX, 2TB in RAID5 + a 128GB SSD for OS+OMV which I take from my current system
What do you guys think?
Thanks in advance!
