Hello everyone,
I've recently been considering setting up a TrueNAS SCALE build and wanted to get some feedback and advice regarding my planned specs.
I plan to use an AMD Ryzen 9 3900X 12-Core Processor. It's a powerful CPU and from what I've seen, should be more than capable for my needs. However, I would like to get your opinions on its suitability for a TrueNAS SCALE system. Right now it's running in my standard motherboard. I do think for a long term build a other motherboard would be a very good idea?
For RAM, I'm considering 64GB of ECC memory. I understand the benefits of ECC memory for a NAS system and I've heard that my Ryzen CPU might be able to utilize it. Could anyone confirm this or provide further insight? Right now it's no ECC 32GB. How much would you suggest?
In terms of storage, I plan on including 6-8 hard drives in my setup.
Finally, I'm considering the idea of running a Windows Server for a Windows Terminal on the same machine. I'm also considering adding a graphics card if necessary for Windows. This is something I'm not entirely sure about, so I'd greatly appreciate your thoughts. Is this a viable idea? Would it potentially conflict with TrueNAS SCALE or introduce any instability? Having a maximal of 3 instances running
Thank you in advance for your help and advice. Any input would be greatly appreciated.
