Im thinking about building my own high capacity NAS for media storage and streaming. I dont want a pre made NAS as they dont go as high as i want in the storage area.
-Note I dont trust 3tb or larger drives, i havent heard any good from them so the highest ill use is a 2tb.
-I plan to install freenas os however im not sure what im going to put that on. im open to suggestions (ssd?)
-Planing Raid 5 however i need to do more research on it as i have never used Raid
Here are the parts i plan to use as of now point out flaws as you wish:
