Hey guys,
I currently have freenas running very stably on a Dell T130 server with the following components:
Dell T130 mobo (c236 chipset)
Intel Pentium G4500
Dell PERC H730 (HBA mode)
WD red HDDs
I'm upgrading because the system is used mainly as a media server and the CPU struggles to transcode 4K.
I've ordered:
Supermicro X11SCH-F-O
Intel i3-9100
Just wanted your opinions on whether these two components are good upgrades and should I just do away with the H730 RAID card and use the onboard sata ports instead?
Thanks in advance
