I'm reading documents about my future Freenas 8 server and I'd like to have your suggestions about hardware to buy, my budget is 700-800 euro.
I thought to hardware RAID 1 (mirroring) but my doubt is for motherboard with integrated RAID controller (most AMD/Opteron system have this feature) or PCI-e external controller as LSI, Adaptec, MegaRaid. Did you have experience with it ?
I thought to buy n. 2 hard disk 1 TB SAS 10K 8 GB RAM, what do you think for SATA disk instead ?
Mainboard.. I don't know but I think to AMD platform, 64 bit , what do you think ? Cheaper mainboard ?!
I saw Sandy bridge, Ivy bridge are not supported ?!?!
My file system will be ZFS and I want quiet server, it's my number one among my requirements.
Freenas 8 - ZFS
RAM: 8 GB
n. 1 controller SAS - PCI-e
n. 2 hard disk SAS 10K - 1 TB
AMD 64 bit ...
