Hello all!
First time poster here and just wanting some confirmation on the parts I selected for my new FreeNAS server. I will be using this pretty much just to host my Plex Media Server as well as CIFS file sharing for my two Windows desktops.
CASE: Supermicro CSE-721TQ-250B w/ included 250w PSU
MOBO: Supermicro MBD-A1SAi-2750F-O MiniITX w/ Atom C2750
RAM: 2x 8GB Kingston 204-Pin SO-DIMM ECC Model KVR16LSE11/8KF
HDD: 4x 2TB WD Red Pro WD2001FFSX
BOOT: 16GB SanDisk usb flash drive
I thought about getting the same Asrock board that comes in the FreeNAS mini but decided on the supermicro board due to ensured compatibility with the case even though it uses SO-DIMM (not sure why they did that).
My only concern is if the case will handle the slight increase in temps due to using 7,200 rpm drives so will monitor closely and add a 2nd fan if needed. Any advice, info, or feedback on my build would be greatly appreciated! Glad to be here and hope to learn a lot and be a good contributing member to this forum.
