Here is my FreeNAS build, I was initially going to go AMD but decided otherwise for future support. Primary use will be file server as well as streaming from 4-6 devices (home use). In the future will need to support transcoding as well. I want to keep it around 500 excluding the drives if possible. A nice seasonic went on sale today at newegg and I missed out... darn.
Fractal Design Node 304 FD-CA-NODE-304-BL Black Computer Case
SUPERMICRO MBD-X10SLL-F-O uATX Server Motherboard
Crucial 16GB (2 x 8GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM ECC Unbuffered DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Server Memory Model CT2KIT102472BD160B
Intel Core i3-4170 3M 3.7 GHz LGA 1150 BX80646I34170 Desktop Processor
EVGA 210-GQ-0650-V1 650W Power Supply
2x 4TB WD Red drives (Mirrored)
30gig SSD (at least) for OS
Any thoughts or suggestions?
Also, there is a USB3.0 port on this motherboard. Would it be possible to run FreeNAS from a flash drive from that port? Or is that a bad idea? I know I read somewhere that FreeNAS does not support usb 3.0 but I cant remember if that was an old thread.
