My current setup is from 2016. I'm running an ASRock C2750 (yes, the infamous one). I have TrueNAS 13.0-Stable running on it and it runs ZFS. It has held up very well after some initial problems. I want to build something new and run TrueNAS Scale. I would be moving my current 8 hard drives over and importing the Zpool. I can't afford 8 x 8TB drives right now. I want to know what everyone else has built their own servers is using?
Is it possible to build a server with a server motherboard, a Xeon processor, and support for at least 8 SATA drives for a reasonable price? It seems like my choices are either SuperMicro boards or ASRock boards. Not interested in the latest systems running DDR5 memory. Don't feel that's necessary at all for now.
I want to do the standard file server and possibly run one or two virtual environments. I'm think a low-power Xeon system. Does anyone have experience running the AMD Ryzen's? I've heard they don't necessarily support ECC memory but also don't dislike ECC memory either.
