Hello oh tech wizards,
I want to build a little home NAS, nothing too serious but since it's my first NAS, I would like building it the right way.
Initially I had choosen an Athleon 200G as my CPU, but grew concerned about ECC ram. It's really an hassle to understand compatibility, plus it would be not registered so in the end I decided to switch to an Intel CPU. And here is the issue: I am totally not an expert in regards of Intel; I tried doing a simple research, but in the end I couldn't put togheter CPU, MOBO and ECC-RAM at a decent price.
I planned to use two 240GB Seagate Ironwolf SSDs (ZA240NX10001) for the OS, and two 3GB Ironwolf HDD 64MB cache (ST3000VN007) in mirror, fitting in a Thermaltake Core V1 Mini ITX case. I planned for 16gb of ram, but I'm not sure since I read that ZFS is really ram-hungry.
Since the market is changing quickly these months I decided to take the safest way, posting a specific thread instead of using existing ones; please roast me if I made any mistake, knowing that I haven't bought a single thing yet.
Cheers from Italy.
