Hi,
I am looking to build a home NAS system that is rather on the lower cost side, but in the range of a system with ECC.
I might soon have left over an AMD Phenom II system with 16GB(4x4) DDR3 1333MHz ECC memory, in which currently all my main storage is. I wonder what is worth of that to 'recycle' for a NAS-only system. Seems AMD is not the best choice due to limited support from the FreeBSD side? Or what are the reasons? Probably can't get low-enough power in standby/idle?
Sadly, the lowest-cost Intel options, the Atom C2xxx line, is out of question since the recently discovered premature aging problems in their clock network.
Personally I have no specific bias for Intel or AMD usually... I just guess Intel's AES-NI could be useful when using encrypted drives.
Any recommendations? Worth it to recycle anything of this, or not? I guess that also some small boards might only support 2x DIMMs....?
Thanks for any recommendations!
