System is as follows:
CPUs: 2 x Xeon E5450
Mobo: Superemicro X7DVL-3
RAM: 16gb of ECC DDR2 PC2-5300
Storage: HGST 4TB & (2)Samsung 2TB
All I use it for is hosting media for my network as well as running a Plex server.
Do you think it would be worth my while to use FreeNAS on it instead of Windows Server 2012?
I like that FreeNAS just runs from a USB drive and has the data checking, scrubbing and snapshots.
