Thanks in large part to searching through these forums, I have almost completed ordering the parts for my 1st NAS build:
- Case: Lian-Li Q26
- Fans: 4 120mm fans (Included with Q26, may replace them if their too loud. May also add a 5th if passively cooled CPU is getting too hot.)
- Motherboard/CPU: Supermicro MBD-A1SAi-2750F-O
- Memory: 2 x Kingston 8GB KVR16LSE11/8KF
- Hard Drives: 3 x WD Red NAS WD40EFRX 4TB HDDs / 3 x Seagate NAS ST4000VN000 4TB HDDs (using RAID-Z2)
- Boot USB: 2 x SanDisk Cruzer Fit 16 GB (mirrored)
- SATA Controller: IBM Serveraid M1015 SAS/SATA Controller
- Hard Drives: 4 6TB HDDs (2nd RAID-Z2 vdev, making 10 total HDDs)
- Memory: 2 x Kingston 8GB KVR16LSE11/8KF (32GB total)
- SSD (this is unlikely, but since the case allows for it and SSDs will be cheaper in a couple years, I want to leave it open as an option for running FreeNAS)
- SeaSonic SSR-450RM 450W (G-450)
- SeaSonic SSR-550RM 550W (G-550)
