Hi everyone,
Im a long time synology user and its time to ramp up and swim with the big fish :)
I want ZFS. I want to have data integrity.
My current nas is powered by a celeron j1900, with 16gb ram. Running 8-10 services, including file sharing of course, media server (sort of, basically still file sharing as its just Kodi devices), web server for server self hosted applications, mail server, photo storage and sharing (about .4TB photos)
I have a few dilemmas for the new setup.
I know for a fact that I want IPMI, ECC ram and support for up to 8 drives. Currently my storage disks sums up to about 10-12TB.
I have been browsing Amazon and focused on two directions, which Im still not sure which is the better option:
1. The slightly more expensive A2SDi-4C-HLN4F, can be found on Amazon for around 320$.
2. The cheaper yet possibly more powerful X11SSM-F-O which is sold for 230$.
As for CPU, I have an Intel G4400 that can be pulled out of an old PC not used, but the downside of saving money on CPU here is that it is only dual core, and I think its less fitting my usage. But I would like to have your opinion about it of course. If not using it, I guess Im open to spend about 120$ for an i3 8100 quadcore
For Memory, According to my usage, storage size, and the will to be able to spin up a VM or two, I understand that 32GB will be the better choice, and I need a tip here and an advice what should I pick.
All hardware will be bought from Amazon.
PSU I have, case Ill work something out, OS will run from USB with redundency (same as all the other disks)
I hope I didnt forget any important detail. I would love to hear your thoughts.
