Hey everyone,
After stalking the boards for some time I've finally put my build together. Purpose will be home storage (photos, portfolio work), and plex media. Not sure how many streams I'll push out of it. I have ATT fiber at home so I hope I can get some decent quality streams out while I travel. Any red flags I should be aware of? I appreciate any advice, slap on the wrists, etc.
Case: Fractal Design R4 ($40)
Motherboard: X10SL7-F ($140)
RAM: 4x8GB CT102472BD160B ($75 each x 4 $300)
CPU: E3-1271v3 ($220)
Cooler: EVO 212 LED ($20)
Storage: WD Red 8TB WD80EFAX (256MB Cache) x 6 ($139 each) [ZFS2]
Fans: Noctua NF-P14s redux-1500 PWM ($10 each x 4 $40)
OS: SanDisk Extreme 32GB (SDCZ80-032G-GAM46) x 2 ($20 each)
PSU: EVGA 700 B1 80+ BRONZE 700W ($39)
Total: ~$1200
Just a follow up question, should I swap out the thumb drives (they have high read/write) for a normal SSD? I have a Toshiba/OCZ SSD 120GB laying around, not sure if I need that redundancy there.
I'm freelance webdev, so I might end up running a few web servers there for Drupal dev -- but it's less homelab and more bulk storage and plex streaming.
