I give up, I screw up and I don’t get what parts go with what. I have watched weeks’ worth of videos and read months’ worth of NAS systems and FreeNAS and I don’t get it. Please help. I thought I bought the right parts and components but NOOOOO. This is what I got
1) Fractal Design Define R4 Cases FD-CA-DEF-R4-BL (for the X10 hdd)
2) 2) Asus Z97 Gryphon LGA 1150 Micro ATX (thought that the tough was going to help, NOT)
3) Intel Core i3 -4130T 2.9GHz LGA 1150 (if I’m not wrong the T is for NAS)
4) LSI 9361-8i SATA SAS 12GB/s RAID CONTROLLER CARD RARE 2GB VERSION w/ BBU (Grate card but base on what I read I can not do Raidz2 with it!!!)
5) Corsair Vengeance 32GB (4 x 8GB) DDR3-1866 NON-ECC (tataraaaa NOT)
6) X10 Western Digital Red 3 TB Internal 5400RPM 3.5" WD3001FFSX NAS (THE only smart choice I have made!!!)
7) Samsung SSD 850 EVO 250gb (for cach, just don’t know what exacly that is just read I need one)
8) Sandisk Cruzer 32GB USB 32 GB Flash Drive
9) VGA SuperNOVA 80+ PLATINUM 650W, Fully Modular Power Supply 220-P2-0650-X1
Based on what I have read “ASROCK or Supermicro Motherboards” are the most common motherboards for NAS. Here’s my problem. There is hundreds of each brand that I don’t know with would perform best for my purpose. For the x10 hdd I have the LSI 9361 but how do I connect 10 hdd with only 8 connections on the card and second can it be made to do raidz2? I know I need 1gb of ECC ram for each 1 tb of hdd but I don’t know witch ram is comparable with the RIGHT motherboard (ASROCK or Supermicro). What I wish to accomplish is a NAS system (price can be adjusted to what’s reasonable) that can storage and safely data, movies pictures and more to be able to access through my network to any device (phone, tablets computers TV) from any ware in the world. I know I need the right components to do FreeNAS, raidz2, ZFS, PLex. Please help.
