Hi there all,first all happy new year.
I am new on the forum and revered by openelec forum.
I want to change my diy nas to xbmc mediaplayer and storage.
I have an amd 4 core x965 cpu radeon 6870 and 16 gb of ram and 1x 60gb ssd and 6x2tb hdd's
I want to install the os on my ssd and use the hdd's for storage,also want to use sabnzbd couchpotato and sickbeard and maybe if it's there headphones as well for my music.
I want to have my hdd's in some kind of raid so i can use them as one big disk were all the media files are stored,not much need of security cause it's just media but when its there i'll use it anyway.
Is this in anyway possible and am i able to setup samba share's as well for my different mediaplayers tv's and win based laptop's?
And also is there an howto or guide how to make this all work together?
Currently using the machine just as a nas for streaming but it's connected to the main tv in living anyway and that's why i want to make it an kind of htpc with storage.
Want to use linux cause i'm not so thrilled about windows.
Hope that some of you experts can guid me through this proces so i can keep my wife and kids even more happy with the media then already is now.
I can do some basic linix commands from shell but i am not a real pro with it but eager to learn.
Hope to hear from you soon.
