Hi! This is my first FreeNas/server type build. My goal is a FreeNas build that is good for streaming media around my home, storing photos/other files, and to learn as much about FreeNas as possible. I know very little right now. In full disclosure, I have already ordered most of the parts so I hope I am not too far off the mark. Please let me know where I have gone wrong! Here is what I am thinking:
1. Motherboard: SUPERMICRO MBD-X11SCH-LN4F-O
2. CPU: Intel CORE I3-8300 3.70GHZ 8M LGA1151
3. CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-C14S 140mm SSO2 C-type Premium Quiet CPU Cooler
4. RAM: 2 X Supermicro 16GB 288-Pin DDR4 2666 (PC4-2666) Server Memory (MEM-DR416L-CV02-EU26)
5. Boot Drive: SanDisk 32GB Ultra Fit USB 3.1 Flash Drive
6. Storage: 5 X WD Red 4TB NAS Hard Disk Drive - 5400 RPM
7. Power Supply: EVGA Supernova 650 G3, 80 Plus Gold 650W
8. Case: Fractal Design Node 804
My biggest questions are:
1. Will it FreeNAS?
2. Is the I3-8300 enough? Xeon 21x6 chips seem pretty hard to find from the major resellers (amazon, newegg, B&H) but I am thinking I can swap one in at a later date if necessary.
3. Is 650 watts enough for the power supply? If it is right now, what if I add a couple more drives later on?
In any case, I'm having a blast learning the basics, any suggestions/criticisms will be appreciated.
Thanks!
