REDEAMER221O

Any ideas guys?

I have never tried freenas will have to look into it i also have Plex running on my media pc (not the premium yet still need to purchase that) ill send u a plex invite oneday wen i get this server off the ground....i have never use Transmission,Sickbeard or couch potato so will have to look into that soon aswell. I'm using Dropbox at the moment for photo's it seems to be working ok , Main use's will be docement storage & HD-4k Media so a Plex will help with that ,Could possibly use the server to host games aswell if need be Well let's face the facts storage is expensive Yes Do we need it - Yes Does it get cheaper over time - Yes Wil u see the huge loss of $$$ building a server like this yes but only in 2020 with 10-20tb drives so for a 6 year build this server is fine

I'm still undecided but at this point Win7 or Server 2012 and on do i need it topic maybe not the whole *Raw Storage: 144.0 TB *Usable Storage: 109.1 TB But i'm trying to future proof for 3-5years my current storage array is just over 34tb of personal data and work Any recomandations on OS?
