My current NAS is old and full, so I'm planning to build a new server, but I am going in circles trying to decide on the motherboard and cpu.
This server needs more than 20T of usable disk storage, and it will run many jails and some vms; it is a storage/media/app server for our house.
I'm looking for a xeon/ecc motherboard, 64G+ RAM, and 6+ SATA ports, configured with RAIDZ2.
From what I've read online, Supermicro and ASRock are very reliable. The Supermicro X12SCA-5F looks reasonable, but very expensive.
I'm curious what others suggest.
