Hi. I'm new to building machines and I wanted to start by building a simple NAS for home use. The most it'll be doing is bittorrent sync, running PLEX, and setting up owncloud to share pictures and videos with family. I don't think i'll be transcoding more than 2 streams at a time. For the most part, I'm not looking for screaming hardware but something that'll do the job reliably and a small form factor. After reading the forums and understanding ECC vs. not, I'm looking for a recommendation on a mini-itx motherboard that supports ECC that doesn't break the bank.
So far my parts are:
4 WD RED 4TB drives. Planning on going with RAID-Z2
Fractal Design node 304
I would like to keep the build small and hence the mini-itx. There's a lot of supermicro recommendations but they're all uATX form factors. I don't think I'll need more than 16GB RAM. For the processor, I was at first leaning towards the Intel g3220 and g3258 but it depends on the motherboard. Thanks in advance!
