Hi,
I'm going to build my first FreeNAS-system. I'm not sure if I should go for an AMD Fusion E350 or an Intel Pentium Processor G620 system (price is roughly the same).
Components Price Description
Mainboard 147,90 ASUS E35M1-I Deluxe incl. AMD Fusion E-350

RAM 34,99 Team Group DIMM 8 GB DDR3-1333 Kit
Case 154,90 Fractal Design Array R2 (incl. 300-Watt-PSU)
PSU 0,00 included
Sum 337,79 €
Components Price Description
Mainboard 76,90 ASUS P8H61-I Rev.3.0
CPU 57,90 Intel® Pentium® Processor G620
CPU-Cooler 24,99 Scythe Shuriken Rev. B
RAM 34,99 Team Group DIMM 8 GB DDR3-1333 Kit
Case 154,90 Fractal Design Array R2 (incl. 300-Watt-PSU)
PSU 0,00 included
Sum 349,68 €
1) What would you recommend?
The Intel system would be a lot faster, but I'm not sure if there's a way to get the same power consumption as the AMD system (maybe via undervolting?).
2) Will I notice the difference in power consumption, when using 3-4 HDDs?
3) I assume that the Intel configuration will be louder than the AMD one: Is there a way to get to the same noise level?
4) Would the AMD system be sufficient to max out an 1 Gb-Ethernet-connection? All shares will be accessed through CIFS/SAMBA.
5) I'll probably use older HDDs with different capacities: The first buildup could be 160 + 500 +1000 GB (3 HDDs). Is it possible to create a ZFS1-setup with these HDDs (what will be the available space of this setup?)? Or is it necessary to have HDDs with the same capacity?
THX for any help!
