Hi all, I'm a long time reader here at the forums, but never had the time or money for a build.
Finally I got both.
I want to build my first NAS for my own home use: media storage, backup for my Macintosh and my wife's Windows-based laptop, bulk storage for my photography, and home plex use (maybe use for 2 extra VMs - pihole and owncloud).
I followed a lot of builds and guides here on the forums, and read all the hardware recommendations.
I came up with this system, and would really love your thoughts about it:
CPU - Intel - Xeon E3-1240 V6 3.7GHz
CPU cooler - Cooler Master - Hyper 212 EVO 82.9 CFM Sleeve Bearing CPU Cooler
MB - Supermicro - MBD-X11SSH-F Micro ATX LGA1151 Motherboard
Memory - 2x Kingston - ValueRAM 16GB (1 x 16GB) DDR4-2400
Case - Phanteks - Enthoo Pro M Tempered Glass (Black) ATX Mid Tower
PSU - EVGA - SuperNOVA T2 850W 80+ Titanium Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply
Storage - 6x Western Digital - Red 4TB 3.5" 5400RPM Internal Hard Drive (used in raidz2 configuration)
Boot Drive - 2x Samsung - 850 EVO-Series 120GB 2.5" Solid State Drive (for mirrored boot drive)
What do you think?
Thanks in advance,
Shay.
--Edit--
Replaced the MB with Supermicro - MBD-X11SSM-F-O Micro ATX LGA1151 Motherboard.
Do i need a dedicated graphics card for basic monitoring?
What other case do you suggest?
