Hello,
I am looking to build a home server for mass media/plex with about 8+ tb of video files.
I'm thinking of going with 5 4tb wd reds in Raidz2 and a 120gb ssd for the OS. WD Red 4TB NAS Hard Disk Drive - WD40EFRX
I would like to get server grade hardware but my biggest worry is will an older system work well with newer drives.
Also the case would need 8+ 3.5in bays. 10 would be nice so i could add another set of drives. I am not against buying tower server case later on.

Looking for recommendations on my first FreeNAS build.
