I bought 2 8TB WD REDS this past weekend cause the deal was to good to pass up.
If I use existing computer parts, i7-860, 8GB ddr2 RAM, Biostar TP55 mb. Is it possible to build a NAS with this kinda hardware and will I get full advantage on bandwidth across the network with this kinda hardware?
Second, I guess the only free software out there is freenas or is there something else I should look at? Disadvatages/Advantages?
Third, raid 10, 5 or 6?
More questions to come...
