Hallo again,
I changed some of my components for my personal NAS due to some space problems in my room.
I now have the follow Hardware-list for my FreeNAS device:
RAM: 2x Samsung DIMM 32GB, DDR4-2400, CL17-17-17, reg ECC
Cache-SSD: 2x Samsung SSD 850 EVO 250GB
HDD: 8x Seagate IronWolf NAS HDD 8TB SATA 6Gbs/s
Mainboard: ASROck Rack C236M WS
CPU: Intel Pentium G4560
PSU: Be quiet! Dark Power Pro 11 550W
Case: Streamcom F12C (ST-F12CB)
Now again I have some questions :
And last I got a question about FreeNAS / ZFS :
Thanks again for your time and I'm sorry to bother you with this.

Now again I have some questions :
- Does anybody have some kind of experience with this Case and PSU ?
- It has to stay in our floor so it shouldn’t be very loud.
- And is there any „restriction“ for a Case ? Like is every Case the same (expect for space) or does this kind of case (made for HTPC) has some disadvantages/advantages ?
p.S.: Before you ask I wanted to use the Node 804, but like I read my HDDs would hang and I also read that this kind of HDD-placement is a bit slower than others (maybe its wrong but it would also be a space problem to place it in the floor so I chose another)
- Does this config match all the criteria for FreeNAS RAID-Z2 ?
- Like I said my usage for this NAS is only to use it for one user (but different devices, for example PC or Set Top Box) ?
- Focus of this question is - is the Hardware fast enough for a 50gig stream of a video file ?
I think it also depends on the Router (I have a FB 3272, IEEE 802.11n with 450Mbit/s) so is all ready for a stream ?
- How about the power consumption ?
- Does this config uses all the 550W or only as much as needed ?
- Any idea how much it will cost in a year of 24/7 usage ? I think It won’t be used by any device for about 18 hours a day, but it is still on to check for errors and such.
And last I got a question about FreeNAS / ZFS :
- Does FreeNAS with ZFS support access on Windows / Mac / iOS / Android ?
I mean can I read and write files via those Systems or do I need to use FreeNAS ?
- I read that you can Access your NAS via VPN from outside. Is it possible to forbid that ?
Thanks again for your time and I'm sorry to bother you with this.
