Hiya,
Currently assembling a successor to a HP N54L Microserver-based TrueNAS device. Mostly so I can have 10G networking
Intended build (parts already on the bench):-
Case = Supermicro CSE-731i-300B
PSU = Supermicro PWS-305-PQ (came with case)
MoBo = Supermicro X10SL7-F
HBA = LSI 2308 (builtin to mobo)
NIC = IBM QLE8142 (Qlogic)
HDD = 4x WD Red WD30EFRX (Dated 2013 so CMR) (+ several cold spares)
Sys drv = SSD 120GB Sandisk
Other factors:-
Primary use - SMB file store for Windows domain, media store for Kodi, PiCorePlayer.
No encryption
No deduplication
No jails (I use a separate virtualisation host)
No plugins (yet)
Some single points of failure so it will sync with another TrueNAS box I already have.
CPU - Which one?? :-
E3-1225 v3 or E3-1240 v3 (I have both in hand)
RAM - currently I have:-
2x 8GB Kingston KVR16E11/8 (DDR3 1600Mhz ECC Unbuffered CL11 Dual Rank)
----- Should I go 32GB ??
Any other thoughts or suggestions?
Thanks for reading,
P
