Hi all,
first post in this forum and I would like to check the HW setup for a new NAS/Media server to be build as my current NAS (Synology) will run full within a reasonable time frame.
After a lot of reading and first being focussed on a mITX solution but in the end not choosing for that one as space is not that an issue and I would prefer to avoid any heat problems, coming to the following set:
Any thoughts on this configuration, e.g. a mismatch of components by which this setup will never work or not work reliably.
Thnx for all support
first post in this forum and I would like to check the HW setup for a new NAS/Media server to be build as my current NAS (Synology) will run full within a reasonable time frame.
After a lot of reading and first being focussed on a mITX solution but in the end not choosing for that one as space is not that an issue and I would prefer to avoid any heat problems, coming to the following set:
- Intel XEON E3 1220 v6 (should also allow transcoding)
- Supermicro X11SSL-F (preferred brand, provides 6 SATA ports, supports ECC, supports IPMI, hence no video required which is not provide by CPU above)
- 6 x WD Red WD60EFRX, 6TB (as I understand one of the most reliable disks at the moment)
- Fractal Design Define R5 Zwart (sufficient space and providing proper cooling)
- 2 x Samsung M391A1G43DB0-CPB giving a total of 16 GB (confirmed by SM to be working with X11SSL)
- Seasonic G-series 450 watt (preferred type in this forum and sufficient capacity)
Any thoughts on this configuration, e.g. a mismatch of components by which this setup will never work or not work reliably.
Thnx for all support
