I am about a week away from ordering all this stuff so I would pass this build by the forum one final time
My use case is currently thus: it’s primarily going to be used as a file and media server, for 1-2 users. Ideally it would last me several years, and I expect data to grow at about 500-1000 GB/Year


CPU: Core i3 6100 3,7GHz Socket 1151 Box

Mobo: SUPERMICRO X11SSL-CF

CASE: Fractal design node 804

Crucial DDR4 PC17000/2133MHz ECC CL15 2x16GB (CT2K16G4WFD8213)

Corsair RMx Series RM650x,

Corsair Rmx Series Rm550x

or EVGA SUPERNOVA 650 G2 80+GOLD


Boot device (90 gb corsair SSD that I have laying around


Storage

6-8 wdred drives. 3 OR 4 TB. Not sure yet.




A specific I have doubt concerns the LSI 3008 controller. I have heard that there is issues with the driver for FreeBSD. The reason why I tentatively wish to purchase this board is due to the relative difficulty of coming by cards for additional connectivity in my region of the world, should I desire expansion.


How problematic is the new LSI 3008 controller? Of course I plan to use crossflashed to IT mode, if I choose to use.it. I read In another thread that there has been a rencent firmware update,does anyone know how it panned out?


Bonus question: any input on the power supplies would be appreciated.
