Guys, I'm a noob in need of direction. I have some spare gear: a10-7700k/8gb ram/unlimited rx580 GPU's materials to work with. I am receiving a few enterprise hdds and I'd like to set up a media streaming server in my humble dwelling. I was hoping to make a freeNAS-based rig. I'd like to stream both 1080p and 4k content, if possible, to firesticks or the like. I will need either a RAID- or some kind of SATA controller to get enough ports for hdds.
So, I suppose I'm looking for direction as to what card I should use to expand SATA ports that plays nice with freeNAS, and all other recommendations since I don't know anything.
All help greatly appreciated.
