Hello, I've owned a hand built equivalent of a FreeNAS mini (but with a D-1540 based SuperMicro board) that I ended up gravitating to after a lot of parts purchasing as I tried to decide what I really wanted. I've been very pleased with it, though getting some of the plugins to work has been, at times, frustrating.
Lately, I've been thinking of building a second machine using parts that I've accumulated over the past couple of years. This is what I have to work with:
Chassis: Supermicro CSE-823TQ-653PLB
CPU: Intel Xeon E3-1276 V3
Mainboard: Supermicro X10SL7-F
RAID Controller: LSI 9211-8i (PCIe 3.0 x8)
Drives: 6x3TB WD Red and 8x512GB Samsung 850 Pro
2.5" bay: IcyDock MB998IP-B 8 bay cage
SLOG: Intel DC S3500 120GB
Boot drive: Intel 535 120GB
AOC NIC: Supermicro AOC-SG-I2 2x1GBe NIC (PCIe 2.o x4)
RAM: 4xCrucial 8GB DDR3-1600 ECC CT4484978
The six 3TB drives will be in a raidz2 and the SSDs will be a raid 10/100 (still up in the air). Boot drive and SLOG will live in the CDROM and floppy drive section of the chassis.
Besides the silly factor of having all of these items live in one case, does anything raise a red flag?
TIA,
T
Edit: Adding the RAM would be nice.
