I needed powerful server at my house, because I love to watch my movies and recorded TV shows anytime or any where I want. I Started small with the cheapest synology unit available just to see how it would work using plex. soon my mother wanted access to my library and we combined our movie and TV libraries. This first system could not keep up So I bought a synology 920+ and upgraded the RAM to the highest level it could handle. This was better still but the unit could not keep up with the demands placed on it, as family and friends accessed the NAS. I also upgraded the internet service to 1Gb up and 1Gb download to accomodate the traffic. I had played with Freenas before covid and had a small nas at the time, unforunatly I had to use this system for parts during this time to fix my parents computer.  Last July I purchased this old but still powerful computer to upgrade my NAS, this thing is a beast it handles everybody at once NO LAG!!! and dosen't even break a sweat. The best part being "it was Cheaper than my 920+ as I paid just under $300 at the time. I installed larger hard drives than before and all my movies, music, Tv showes, and pictures are all available anywhere I want them.
