Is this worthwhile considering? Old pc is a q8300 with 4gb ram.
I have a 1tb LG nas right now but its always full and I keep having to swap stuff about (films & TV mostly)
I also have a 320gb on a rasp pi running squeezebox-server for tunes.
I'd like to have one solution for the lot that wont cost me the earth (ie nout
).
I also have 3 green wd drives, 2 1tb and a 500gb as well as a 60gb ssd for an os.
I'd like to run this headless too; it will go under the stairs out of the way.
Power consumption is a worry for me, so will something like freenas power up and down when asked over LAN, and will the disks be happy enough?
Should I look at something else?
