Goals:
Install mSATA drive
Confirm all four 2TB HDDs work
Install windows10 to mSATA
Create spanned drive with all four HDDs
Document Process
Log:
installed mSATA drive onto motherboard
created win10 bootable USB
followed windows10 installation instructions
confirmed all four HDDs show up in Windows Drive Manager
created span drive to group all four drives as one shared folder
documented what we did several hours after doing it
Notes:
FreeNAS is old
ITX motherboard with single 4pin CPU power plug (basically can't upgrade to new board without also having to replace proprietary power supply which may be difficult)
8GB total of DDR3 ram
will connect to internet and update drivers and windows later
