Right now, my NAS has a Core 2 Quad Q9400 if i remember right, 2GB of ram(i also have a lot more if needed), i have a 320gb hdd for the Windows, a 2tb hdd as "safe" storage and a raid 0(bios level) of 3 hdd 1tb for the games and temporary storage.

and also, do i need all the drives to be the same? because i have LOTS of old HDD i could use for it but if it's a necessity, i will buy somes. but what i do have is a bunch of old pc(Core 2 Quad/Core 2 Duo/AM2 processors) so what i have in mind now would be: could i create a freenas that would work for what i want to do? do i need special hardware like raid cards etc. So the other person talked to me about iscsi but he also said i would need some really beefy hardware wich beside my gaming pc i don't really have.
YOU NEED A BUDGET STEAM INSTALL
i was able to install like 77 games of my 86 perfectly fine and they seams to run perfectly without any fps drop or any problem. and after that i got on my gaming pc, open steam and add a library to the shared files and after that installed games but i have somes problem, somes games refuse to install, they block at some point and give me a "Write disk error" on steam. So Basically, i need to build a NAS that will be used to only Store files and games, i want to be able to install steam on any machines plugged to my network and be able to just add a Steam library to the setting and not having the games taking space directly on my gaming pc.įor now, i've just installed windows 10 pro 32bits and shared the drives.
