Hello again,
so after reading a lot for the past 24 hours and abandoning some insane requirements I think I could build a much better NAS than my current QNAP 470 Pro and still not give away too much.
I totally stole HW components form m0nkey_ so thank ;) I think I can safely skip slog and l2arc for now.
Home FreeNAS Server
==========================
CHF171 - Case: PC-Q25B Mini-ITX Cube OR Fractal Design Node 304 (not yet 100% convinced, maybe Chenbro SR30169)
CHF177 - RAM: OWC DIMM 32 GB DDR3-1066 ECC DR Quad-Kit
CHF401 - Mainboard: ASRock C2550D4I
CHF17 - BOOT: Sandisk Ultra Fit V2 (16GB, USB 3.0)
CHF129 - Power: Seasonic Platinum 400 Fanless (400W)
CHF512 - 4x 4TB Seagate Ironwolf --> 1x RAID 1 for personal docs and photos an 1x RAID 1 for media files (movies and tv series)
===
CHF1407 = about USD1458
Would it run? What can I optimize for Plex Media Server transcoding?
For silent operation: Replace the case fan?
Which ultra silent CPU fan should I use if any?
Could I also put the ITX mainboard inside ATX case like Fractal Design Node 605 or buy ATX board?
