I'm looking at the same ram. Did you get yours working?
Well bought the same ram and had no problems registered with no issues.
I'm looking at the same ram. Did you get yours working?
Is it? For a simple *home* server, I running with 8G memory, 1 SDD + 5 HDD, a 150W PicoPSU, and I find it's enough. I can easily saturate my gigabit connection, have a few jails and plugins, stream videos with plex to my ChromeCast etc... My drives are mirrored and setup with a local replication in case the entire pool goes bad (plus an rsync offsite backup).I know these setups are way way .. far far away ... from being recommended hardware to use with FreeNAS .. but thanks for the info monarch
Are you saing my HW is not recommend? In the sense that it is weak, or unreliable? Or rather, just that it is not on a list of thoroughly tested and trusted hardware?2014-10-08 18:03:19 <_jkh_> one day mister goldfish is happy and swimming in his bowl

so better buy something common and recommended HW. the numbers of those hardware is usually in the dozens, so some people can give blind advice on them.
Here's where I'm going to be accused of being an Intel shill. AMD systems, on average, do not make good FreeNAS boxes. Why? because AMD is targeted at the lower end market. AMD doesn't put the kind of resources into R&D that Intel does for FreeBSD code, doesn't provide the kind of driver support that Intel does to FreeBSD, and AMD sells a CPU while Intel sells a chipset and CPU which narrows down the options of what motherboards will use. AMD boards often have just about any model of addon that exists while Intel's are typically a pretty narrow range. You buy an Intel board and it's virtually guaranteed to have an Intel SATA controller. These work quite well. AMD can be almost anything. Random things that aren't listed in the specs have been problems for people. Go with AMD and there's a significant chance that you'll lose out on little things like CPU temperature monitoring that will probably drive you nuts. Sorry but the fix is to go ask AMD to fix their problems.
Edit: I have removed the AMD hardware that was listed below because it's just not recommended by iXsystems, so recommending it here seems silly. To quote the CTO of iXsystems "We simply don't have any AMD machines to test with and the FreeBSD discussion lists are full of issues concerning AMD interoperability, which of course FreeNAS has inherited."
