AsВ Linus proved, high speed point to point connections require a decent CPU (I know that I won't be able to achieve 400 megabytes per second when one PC is writing to the NAS however when multiple are writing (for example after an event when all the aspiring photographers of my family want to off load all their pictures, etc.) Also, if every one of loaded their media, will they be able to edit the pictures with photoshop or similar programs without transferring them t o their PC, in other words just talking complete advantage of the Cache. M./Product/index?itemnumber=N82E16833122596ДЇirst of all I know that link aggregation will not give me 400 megabytes from my PC to the NAS, it's not what I am using it for)В It seems as if the CPU that I chose will only get used when plex it transcoding or when link aggregation is being heavily used. So after some reading some manuals, I figured out the the GS116 does not support VLANs however the GS116E supports VLANs. However I wasn't able to find and information regarding VLAN's in the Manual.В If I use a 2 port NICВ it will significantly decrease my total price. What are VLAN's? I am planning to use this switch:В m./Product/index?itemnumber=N82E16833122139. Your i5 will have no issues.В I ran pfSense virtually for almost 2 years, and you can also get away with 2 portsВ if you have a switch that supports VLANs. I'm using a celeron N2930 (in an attempt to save energy and noise) and the total throughput is ~500mbytes per second. Link aggregation gives you more paths and thus bandwidth, but will not increase a single transfer's speed.ДЇor pfSense the only issue I've come across is on a low end CPU the total throughput drops quite a bit. The 4 port NIC may not work the way you want it to for writes to the NAS. Buy your 4port NIC off ebay, 4 port intels go for $50-$100.

How to lower cost - that 6600k is hugely overkill if you're just running a NAS/firewall.

I'm not crazy about those SSDs but they'll get the job done. I am currently desperate for answers so can someone please help.Д¬an never have to much ram, and price per gb on the disks looks good especially for those drives. Is the CPU and amount of ram a good decision. The price is high however there is convenience in the fact that it is an all in one solution. In the end, the rig should look something like this: A contender for the USB card is currently this:ДЄlso, the on board graphics will be given to unRaid so I am including a cheap video card as the video device for pfSense which i will also have to assign to the VM. I know that I will have to assign that nic and a USB card to the pfSense VM. On the pfSense side of things, I will use the Intel I340-T4 or the StarTech ST1000SPEX42. I know that the onboard NIC on my motherboard will be used for unRaid, I will also add the Supermicro AOC-SGP-I4 for unRaid do use for link aggregation for faster write speeds. Since I am limited on space I wanted to know if I can run a NAS, firewall and router in one ATX chasis (the NZXT Source 210 Elite).
