[LUG] Which FreeNas ?

 

Hi

Iâm looking for a number of storage chassis options on linux for up to 4 TB small business 10-20 users, image files. Looking for fast reliable access with backup. We have been on Synology for a while and looking to upgrade onto a more professional appliance. That said I also am keen on building a chassis with a linux distribution and running FreeNas. Â

So far am looking for a 1-2U chassis with 4 SSD disks and 2 - 4 port Ethernet for teaming. We are scaling from a desktop edition synology and seeing the opportunity to run some other linux services on the box.

Found various website with Kit lists e.g.
https://b3n.org/supermicro-2u-zfs-server-build/

Can anyone recommend good suppliers in the uk for host storage chassis and disks for this kind of appliance, is there positive feedback for setting up FreeNas ?

Kind Regards

Matt
