So after looking into some options for a home nas solution that runs dlna I think I've decide to build a small Zacate machine for zfs freenas setup.
My plan is to digitaly store my bluray collection for network viewing on my laptop, tablet, and ps3.
This is going to be my first zfs setup and I had a few questions.
I've seen some back and forth info about adding different size/mfg drives to a raidz. It shouldn't be a problem now, but if I want to add in the future will I be able to?
If you have done a similar build in the past would you mind if I contacted you on various snags? If yes please say so.
And finally please take a look at what I plan for the build and let me know if you see anything that stands out as wrong.
ASUS E35M1-M PRO
Antec BP550
Kingston 4GB
LIAN LI PC-V351B
2x WD 2TB HD's
Thanks, Really looking forward to starting this.
edit - changed to a microatx build for hdmi and usb3.0 on mb
