I'm looking to build a machine to store all my files on. I want something that has the potential to last me many years. Right now, it's just me who is going to be accessing the server. I have a couple different machines, and I don't want to have my data stuck on one machine or another. I'll have everything from MKVs, Photos, music, and various docs. I'll be streaming videos to my Intel NUC every now and then, but mostly this is about having a central place to store all my files. I may edit a photo from time to time as well.
Here's the build I've come up with, and I'd like some feedback:
Motherboard: SuperMicro X10SLH-F-O
Processor: Intel Pentium G3258
RAM: Samsung M391B1G73QH0-YK0 (4x 8GB DIMMs)
Case: Fractal Design Define Mini or Possibly the R4
Power Supply: EVGA 220-GS-0550-V1 550W
Hard Drives: 6 x WD Red 4TB RaidZ2
I've tried to read through all the major treads and material available and I think what I have here is solid. I'm not set on the power supply, but it does have good rating and the price is right. I'm thinking I'll start with the Pentium CPU, but am open to upgrading to a Xeon in the future. With me being the only person accessing it, I figured this would be OK.
Right now I'm thinking WD Reds are the way to go, but I've also been considering the HGST Deskstar NAS Drives. They're supposed to be a little faster at 7200 RPM, but I'm not sure if the extra heat/vibration is worth it. I would appreciate some input on that.
I appreciate any constructive feedback!
Thanks in advance!
