Hello all,
My FreeNAS system was working fine until last week. Long story short, it appears my board (ASROCK C2750D4i) has died (among with a lot of other ones).
I've started looking at a replacement (motherboard & CPU), but haven't had a lot of luck finding an apt one.
I have the following constraints to work with:
Or has that ASROCK board been updated since, and would the new updated version be trustworthy again?
Many thanks
My FreeNAS system was working fine until last week. Long story short, it appears my board (ASROCK C2750D4i) has died (among with a lot of other ones).
I've started looking at a replacement (motherboard & CPU), but haven't had a lot of luck finding an apt one.
I have the following constraints to work with:
- Motherboard
- Mini ITX form factor
- Minimum of 8 SATA ports : 6 SATA2, 2 SATA3 preferably (all SATA3 is fine as well - 2 is minimum)
- 4 DDR3L RAM slots (1.35V - have 2x KVR16LE11/8 and 2x KVR16LE11L/8 : so a minimum of 32 GB)
- IPMI support
- >=1 LAN port (don't care for dual)
- >=1 PCIE slot (slot for an MSATA adapter for SSD boot drive)
- >=1 USB port (2 or 3, more don't matter)
- CPU
- Workload - smallish SOHO server, most intensive will be transcoding a max of 4 full HD streams
- A small TDP (450W power supply & most of the time will be spent idle), passive cooling is preferred (but active won't be a dealbreaker)
- ECC RAM support (Kingston!)
- Virtualization support (looking at FreeNAS 10)
Or has that ASROCK board been updated since, and would the new updated version be trustworthy again?
Many thanks
