Hey Bros,
I recently built a my first freenas box to just use as a home file server.
I absolutely LOVE it, and for the most part it is running very well, but I am left with some questions as to whether I am maximizing what I could be getting.
I used a bunch of old parts I had laying around.
The setup is
x58 motherboard.
i7 920
12 Gigs of ram
8 drives 2tb's each. Not all drives match. 6 are WD greens, and the other 2 are a Toshiba and a Seagate.
I am connected using a single Gigabyte...
Help for a noob. Very simple uses. Could use some advice.
