Hi, I'm just about to build a new TrueNAS and before I buy I want to be sure I'm not wasting my money on something I'll be disappointed with.
The old specs
CPU: i3 540
RAM: 16GB
Motherboard: intel DH55HC
Boot SSD 120GB
HDD 3TB WD Red
HBA: Nope
So you understand why I have to upgrade...
So what I was thinking about
Motherboard: Supermicro X9SRL-F
CPU: Intel Xeon E5-2650 V2. If I find an E5-2667 V2 for a low price then I will buy it.
RAM: 32GB ECC RDIMM
Case: Rosewill RSV-R4200U
Boot SSD and Storage HDD will currently move to the new server until I upgrade them.
PSU: Probably something from Corsair
HBA: For the near future the disks will be directly from the motherboard, but I will buy an HBA when I need more drives. so I will probably buy an LSI 9207-8i - According to what I read, it is the most recommended, right?
My TrueNAS runs SMB mainly and Plex, plus a few small jails.
3-4 users simultaneously connected in SMB.
If you have any advice or anything I should pay attention to before I buy, I'd love to hear it.
