HP ProLiant ML370 G5 for FreeNAS

Hardware Hub Build a PC

Hello

I recently got an old HP ProLiant ML370 G5 server for free. However I have no idea what kind of performance I would get out of it. 

Is there someone who has any idea how well that machine would run FreeNAS? I'd like to know before investing in more hardware for it.

The specs are as follows:

CPU: Intel Xeon E5430

RAM: 16GB ECC

Full specs: http://shopping.netsuite.com/s.nl/c.579773/it.A/id.568/.f


Thanks in advance!

I'm running FreeNAS on a Dell Dimension E310 with a Pentium 4 at 3.2 Ghz and 2GB of ram. Runs nicely for me

Thanks for the reply. Do you know if it can handle streaming to several plex clients at once?

And running the system so far below recommended specs seems very risky to me... FreeNAS recommends at least 8GB ram.
