Afternoon all. I'm looking into building a FreeNAS based machine, got some ideas about what hardware I want to use, just looking for some pointers.
Intel - Pentium G4560
(Dual core with HT, few guides have suggested similar)
Gigabyte - GA-X150M-PRO ECC
Has 6 SATA 6 Gb/s, would prefer 8 to match the case its gonna go in.
Should I bother with lots of SATA 6 Gb/s connections or get a PCI card to manage it?
Either way, it's still one of the cheapest boards I've found that supports ECC.
16GB DDR4 Ram ECC Whatever
Spare Fractal R4 case.
Missus's PC is in the Fractal R4. I plan to move her old thing into a Fractal Mini C, and eventually upgrade that to something a bit beefier.
But I figured, I already have a case that can take 8 3.5" HDD trays.
Spare Seasonic G 500W PSU.
I have some 6TB WB Reds to go in it aswell.
OS will run off a SanDisk Ultra Fit 16 GB USB.
Network card??
Any suggestions?
Cheers all!
