Good Evening All,
My Main PC
Spare PC#1
Spare PC#2
- I'm looking to build or buy a NAS to also use as a PLEX Server.
- I have about 4TB of MP3's and Pictures and backed up movies.
- I access the internet and my current files via several media devices ((2) Xbox One, PS3, Xbox360, Nvidia Shield).
- I live in a 2 story house with wireless Asus RT-AC87R Routers on each story.
- I'm on Comcast high speed internet
- I don't plan on creating a huge catalog of movies/videos, just backup a few Marvel Movies.
- My current problem is that I'm not always able to access my files due to UMS or sharing issues.
- And none of my files are consolidated in one place.
- I just bought 2 more X300 4TB HDD's (+1 in main PC)
- My thought is to use spare PC#1 and build this Server/NAS with FreeNAS or similar.
- I have decent Windows skills but no linux, I'm sure a GUI would be easy to learn though.
- I would need some kind of redundancy, I don't want to lose mP3's and pictures.
