I'm building a new setup to use truenas. While I know ECC isn't "required", I'd much prefer to stick with it as a requirement. Also want to stick with mini-itx as I prefer to have my box fit on a bookshelf. And lastly, would like to use an Intel chip as I've read its the better choice if I wish to do transcoding with the integrated gpu as the Ryzen lacks the necessary instruction set (at least as I understand it). Problem I'm having is I can't seem to find an intel mini-itx board that supports ECC, not unless it has an integrated cpu already. There's also a few xeon ones out there. If I'm wrong, then I have found a decent AMD board I could use with a ryzen 5600G. The ECC/mini-itx combination is what's really limiting what I've been able to find.
Primary function will be as as file and media server. But I may end up using it as an NVR as well.
So any recommendations on motherboards?
