Do you think it will overkill for a NAS because of power consumption? How many drives can be installed and what software can be used for NAS? TIA.

There is a performance hit when running software raid. Correct me if i'm wrong, but this server only has one CPU so the performance hit will be noticed.

for home use it is quite pointless to have a dedicated software raid box. $30 RAID card can perform much better than most software RAID build.

+1 for Hardware Raid in most cases. It's fire and forget...if you bork your OS and it's running your RAID...you'll wish for hardware raid.

I was thinking of using FreeNAS as I saw some had used it on a Dell T20 so I'm assuming a T30 would also work. As far as power overkill, there are likely lower power systems for strictly NAS use, but...

This is a server deal thread, and the Xeon E3-1225 v5 Quad-core processor does not have hyper-threading. It can run four threads on four cores simultaneously.

I've been looking at building/buying something for a NAS + Plex with transcoding 1-2 1080 streams. Seems to be a pretty good system for this purpose?

Also just thought I'd add - the 8g of memory on the system is not ECC ram, which for some is a requirement for a NAS, and would add a bit to the cost.
