Hi, I will be building my own NAS in the coming months so I have two short Questions.
I already looked through some Hardware recommendations in the Forums and picked most of my parts.
CPU: I3-4170T
PSU: EVGA 220-GS-0550-V2
Motherboard: Supermicro MBD-X10SLL-F-O
Ram: Kingston 8 GB ECC DDR3
Case: Fractal Design Node 304
SSD: SanDisk 32GB
HDD: currently 5 Western Digital Green 2TB (already own those and am currently using them in a Raid 5 (am sooner or later switch to Red Editions probably 3TB))
a. Does the CPU suffice for a 1 User NAS with mostly Media Files on it.
b. I don't know if the SSD makes sense, that's just something in me that thinks I don't wanna have a USB drive sticking out of the Case all the time.. (I know i will lose it if I place it somewhere else for savekeeping)
Thanks in advance for any advice you can give me. (Probably gonna be october at the earliest when I will order the parts most likely november)
