Hi, I've been buying freenas's like they are candy and finally thought I'd build one of my own. I saw the general Hardware list and put together this build. I realize the list might be outdated and was hoping for some advice.
The purpose of this Build is to provide dedicated storage for Time Machine backups and Windows PC backups. I know how to create the shares and use Freenas so no need to comment on that unless it's hardware related and could impact the ability to backup.
Money is not a concern but I just want this to work solid. Not fast or overkill. So if I'm going to big or too small let me know. :)
Case: Supermicro 4U Rackmount Server Chassis - Black CSE-846BE16-R1K28B
Power: This case comes with power
Boot Drives: SanDisk Ultra Fit CZ43 x 2 for mirrored boot
MOBO:
Supermicro Motherboard Micro ATX DDR4 LGA 1151 X11SSL-CF-O
HDD: *14 of them
WD Red 6TB NAS Hard Disk Drive - 5400 RPM Class SATA 6 Gb/s 64MB Cache 3.5 Inch - WD60EFRX
SSD: *Read Cache and Write Cache
Any 120gb Intel, Sandisk, Samsung SSD?
CPU: (does this work? Do I really need a Xeon?)
Intel BX80662G4400 Pentium Processor G4400 3.3 GHz FCLGA1151
USPS: APC Smart-UPS 1500VA UPS Battery Backup with Pure Sine Wave Output Rack-Mount/Tower (SMC1500-2U)
Anything I'm missing please let me know. I like the size of the 4U and I hear that they are quieter and Run cooler. The server room will have AC.
