Hey All,
After reading through the guidelines and doing a bit of research I am pretty confident in the build I am proposing, but wanted a sanity check. I plan on just running the RAIDZ mainly because its not going to be used as a backup so I am not too worried about redundancy though that may change by the time I build.
Mobo: SUPERMICRO MBD-X11SSM-F-O - https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813183013
CPU: Intel Xeon E3-1240 v5 SkyLake 3.5 GHz 8MB L3 Cache LGA 1151 - https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819117614
RAM: (2x) Crucial 16GB Single 2133MT/s DDR4 PC4-17000 Dual Ranked x8 ECC DIMM - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B017UGK94S/?tag=pcpapi-20
Storage: (6x) WD Red 4TB NAS Hard Disk Drive - 5400 RPM - https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822236599
Case: Fractal Design Define R5 - https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811352048
PSU: Seasonic SSR-450RM ATX 12V/EPS 12V 450-Watt 80 Plus Gold certified - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00918MQ8G/?tag=pcpapi-20
The only thing that concerns me is that the ram is not on the tested list for the mobo, but the guidelines stated that you really couldnt go wrong with Crucial memory. I chose the newer supermicro board because I would like to futureproof it as much as possible by giving myself the ability to add up to 64gb of ram if i decide to push the drives past 24TB. I will also be buying a cheap SSD that will hold the FreeNAS install.
Thanks in advanced for any tips/advice on this!
Cheers!
