Hello,
completely new to TrueNas I am just searching for the best set up for our new NAS.
We need mainly data storage and eventually some Plex use. Most company work loads are virualized on a HP enterprice server
Main question is to go with which platform?
Think the Ryzen 7 3700x is a quite performant option but I am reading that there might be compatibility issues?
On the other hand LGA1200 based Xeons seem to be an interesting and save choice. Here I found the E-2356G at an aceptable price.
Both platforms are suportet by a varaity of AS Rock Rack MB
What platform does make more sense? Pros and cons? Alternative CPU´s in the price range 250 - 350 EUR?
Other considerations:
- 10 GB network ideally via SFP + (recomendations? Chelsio seems to be quite hard to get or expensive in Germany) > counterpart is a Unifi 10GB agregation
- 64 GB ECCRam or is 32 GB enough for a start?
- 4-6 14-18TB HDD for a start option to max 12 > large HDD to save power
- Graphic card needed for decoding on Plex? Our main server has no graphic support
