Im looking for a little bit of help. I am looking to create a NAS for my home but I have never worked with one before. Love the idea behind them but Im just a bit confused. Basically, I want the NAS to be a central location for everyone in the house to backup to. Ill probably end up using Cobian or something. Ill take suggestions for backup software that may be better. GUI preferably and easy to use.
Im thinking of using either 3 or 4TB drives up to 4 hard drives total. The equipment I want is listed below.

As I said, i wanna hook this up to my computer and have all computers access it over the network so they can save their media/pics/backups on it.
I also wanna be able to stream over the internet to another device/computer. Preferably with plex.
Do I need to have windows installed on all this then use FreeBSD or can I somehow just install FreeBSD on the hard drives within that raid enclosure? This part is where I get confused. How to actually set this up so I can put plex on the hdds so I can stream my media.
Thanks!
