Hello everyone.
After months of reading the forum I have finally decided to build my first free-NAS.
The machine will be used as a home server for backups and media storage, nothing fancy for the moment.
I will appreciate if you can share your thoughts and opinion on this hardware list.
MoBo: SuperMicro X10SLL-F (http://www.supermicro.com/products/motherboard/Xeon/C220/X10SLL-F.cfm)
CPU: Xeon E3-1220 V3
RAM: 2 x Samsung M393B1G70QH0 8GB DDR3 1.35 1600MHz ECC Registered
PSU: Seasonic G-450
Case: Fractal Designs Define r4
HDDs: 6 x Seagate ST4000VN000 on ZFS2 with two disk for parity.
I am just not really sure about the RAM and the HDDs.
I don't like surprises, so I checked the Tested RAM and HDD List on Supermicro's website.
I am having really a hard time to find the suggested RAM in my country (Italy).
The ones I have listed differs for one digit from the one tested by Supermicro (M391B1G73QH0).
Do you believe I am going to take a big risk ? Or I should be good?
As for the HDDs, I was first thinking to go for the suggested WD4000FYYZ but they are a bit out of my budget. Furthermore, the Seagates have a slower RPM.
Can anyone confirm that the ST4000VN000 are fully compatible with the Intel C220 ?
Is there anything else that I'm missing?
Thoughts? Suggestions?
Thank you very much for your help.
