I really hate to post another one of these, but I really need help and the Hardware Compatibility List doesn't really help me since I'm such a noob. :smile:

Anyway, here is the hardware I'm looking at:
Motherboard - SUPERMICRO MBD-H8SCM Micro ATX Server Motherboard Socket C32 AMD SR5650 DDR3 1333
CPU - AMD Opteron 4130 Lisbon 2.6GHz 4 x 512KB L2 Cache 6MB L3 Cache Socket C32 115W Quad-Core Server Processor OS4130WLU4DGNWOF
RAM - Mushkin Enhanced Proline 12GB (3 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10600) ECC Registered Server Memory Model 998957
USB Card - SIIG JU-P20412-S2 PCI Express to 2-Port USB 3.0 SuperSpeed Card

I'll be using FreeNAS 8.0.4 64-bit on this system. I already found the answer for my Ethernet ports, they're good to go.

Again, sorry for yet another hardware post. If there's anything I forgot that I should post let me know.

Thanks for any and all help.

All I can say that it's not recommended to run 3 sticks of RAM on a dual channel board, I would go with either 2 or 4 to keep things optimal and to the recommendations of SuperMicro.
Also I have reservations on the USB3 support in general but others will have more info on that.

Is no one able to help me? This seemed like a sure fire way to get information on the subject. I'll go elsewhere. Thanks b1ghen for at least responding.
