Hey all,
I'm getting ready to build my first NAS. My question is simple, does FreeNas work ok with AMD based systems? I've read numerous threads, articles, and posts on reddit about FreeNAS. In my opinion it is split 50/50. Some say Yes, and some say No.
I plan for the machine to run ECC. Appearance is important to me. This will all be housed in a Fractal Design Arc Midi R2 with a window. So I prefer a board with a black PCB. I've been building computers for a number of years and Asus, Asrock, and Gigabyte haven't failed me. So if possible, I'd like to stay with one of them as well.
I've read various threads suggesting that the GA-990FX-ud3, ud5, and ud9 will run with ECC, but then I've read where some people are saying they have one of those boards running with ECC and they can't seem to confirm that it is actually working. I know according to Gigabyte the board does not support ECC.
So I come here ultimately to ask;
- Does AMD play well with FreeNAS?
- If so, can someone point me in the right direction as to which chipset supports ECC so i can start to dig around and pick out a board?
Thanks for your time,
