Hi, this is my first post, so be nice.
I have been planning a minimal freenas build with good data integrity and low power consumption, mostly for AFP, NFS and SMB (plex and owncloud would be nice but not necessary). I have found a supermicro mobo based on intel c2358 with 4 sata, 7W TDP, 4 x Gbit ethernet and ECC RAM capable, which sounds perfect.
Setup:
- Supermicro A1SRM-LN4F-2358
- 16 GB ECC RAM
- 4 x 4TB sata HDDs
The question is: Is the supermicro c2358 chip powerful enough to handle shares up to Gbit/s speeds or faster (though link aggregation for example)?
Most posts i have found use this mobo for pfsense, but nothing is mentioned about AFP or SMB performance. For SMB to perform well maybe c2550 or c2558 are more appropriate. These seem to be the preferred choice in most DIY builds i have come across. The reason i prefer the c2358 is the low power consumption and the lower price.
