Hello world!
I am building my first FreeNAS and I wanted to get some opinion's on the build as well as have a few questions answered. Below is the build:
Intel Core i3-4170 3.7GHz Dual-Core Processor
ASRock E3C224D2I Mini ITX LGA1150 Motherboard
Kingston 16GB (2 x 8GB) Registered DDR3-1333 Memory
Western Digital Red 3TB 3.5" 5400RPM Internal Hard Drive x4
Fractal Design Node 304 Mini ITX Tower Case
EVGA 500W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply
I intend to use this NAS as storage for my data and virtual machines as well as a media server. I am replacing a QNAP 251+ that is just not handling the plex server like it should.
So I have a few questions to piggy back here as well:
1. Does ZFS require an SSD? Is there a benefit to having it?
2. Is ECC required for ZFS? What are the benefits?
I was trying to research a bit myself but there is a lot of acronyms and other wording that confuses my tiny brain :) so any assistance would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.
