Hello FreeNAS-ers,
Below, I have a proposed build (after reading Cyberjock's hardware recommendations thread) which I would like reviews and/or recommendations on please:
Case - Fractal Design Node 304
PSU - Seasonic G-450W 80 Plus Gold
Mobo - ASRock Avoton C2550D4I
HDDs - 2 x Western Digital RED NAS 3TB (WD30EFRX) (already have)
RAM - 1 x Crucial 8GB DDR3 ECC Unbuffered 1600MHz 240-pin DIMM (CT102472BD160B - will add another later, funds permitting)
Boot - 2 x nano-sized USB sticks (mirrored - already have)
Uses - PC and Laptop backups, movie and music storage, Minecraft server plugin instance (just me using this when I have a spare minute or three)
I believe this build hits the mark as far as future expandability - can anyone poke any proverbial holes in the build considering it's intended uses?
Update - edited list to reflect DrKK's reply
Update #2 - edited list to reflect jgreco's reply
Update #3 - SeaSonic G-450W 80Plus Gold I selected does not fit the selected case; the only SFX PSU that Seasonic produces which is 80 Plus Gold rated has been updated in the build list
Update #4 - Revised parts list after doing more research (it's a wonder what you find out ;))
