The web interface was a buggy mess and sometimes extremely slow (delays of minutes just to show the list of installed plugins) so you better use ssh 80% of the time, and Plex streams in particular would often break down, something I was never able to solve (though that might've also been caused by the ancient router it was connected to at the time). Setting up everything I wanted turned out to be a lot of work. YMMV but I've personally not had such a great experience with FreeNAS. I have some reading to do, but I am a bit lost and don't know where to start. Is something like a TP-Link TL-SG1008D Gigabit Unmanaged Desktop Switch suitable? Would I connect it Virgin HUB (in modem mode) -> wireless router -> switch? I can attach the wireless ariel to my desktop or pick up a cheap gigabit switch or figure something out between my Virgin hub and wireless router.
#Unraid plugins will not update free#
I've just noticed that my TP-Link TL-WDR7300 AC2100 doesn't have any free ports. I have 3x 3TB DT01ACA300 in my main rig, I will move at least 2 of these over after everything is set up so that I can move everything else into an mITX case. I've been doing some light reading but I don't really understand very much from comparisons I see as they are beyond my knowledge. I know I have a few options with FreeNAS, unRAID and OpenMediaVault. I have an unused SanDisk Ultra Fit 32GB I can use or pick up a cheap SSD from the marketplace.

Specs: Intel Xeon 16GB, 2x 300GB SAS & x2 250GB SATA, P410 I collected an HP Proliant ML110 G7 the other day and I need to figure out what to do with it.
