Hello,
I'm trying to decide on a hardware solution that would best fulfill my needs, and need help ;)
Currently i lean towards:
Motherboard: Intel BOXDQ77MK
CPU: i3 3220T
RAM: 2x 8 GB DIMM PC-1600 DDR3 Kingston HyperX
I/O: ServeRAID M1015 SAS/SATA Controller
HDD: 3x WD Caviar Red 3TB
UPS: APC Smart-UPS 750VA
Components that i already have:
PS: Be Quiet Dark Power Pro 550W
Case: Chieftec CH02B-BM
It will run 18/7, an rely heavily on: DDNS, Rsync, CIFS, miniDLNA and Transmission.
Should i upgrade the CPU (for miniDLNA and CIFS) or up RAM to 32GB?
Not sure if i really need M1505 but would like to avoid motherboard dying on me, and loosing my data. And the extra sata slots will come in handy.
Also not sure if Raid-Z1 or Raid-Z2 is the way to go.
Z1 is cheaper initially, and i can afford to shutdown until hdd can be replaced. Still Z2 is more reliable.
All suggestions are appreciated and welcomed.
