FreeNAS on 4GB of ram
You're thinking correctly about the specs. The FreeNAS guide suggests around 1GB of RAM per TB, so with 500GB storage you'd need roughly 500GB of RAM—which isn't practical. Your setup is fine for basic use, but it won’t be optimal. You might get decent performance for simple tasks, but expect limitations if you plan heavy file transfers or complex applications.
