I am looking for a new build and from price / performance point of view the Ryzen (AM4) platform still looks quite intriguing.
But my biggest question would be what the current status of ECC support specifically for Truenas Scale is? Do Ryzen (Pro / AM4) CPUs run stable with full ECC support currently?
What I definitely want to improve over my current system is:
- ECC Ram (32GB)
- CPU Power (4C/8T)
- SFP+ or QSFP+ (10GbE integrated or Mellanox Conncet X3 or similar)
... as well as a proper M2 NVMe Storage pool (RAIDZ-1). For that ideally a mainboard supporting proper bifurcation (4x4x4x4x) on a x16 pcie slot would be necessary. Then I could plug in up to four cooled M2.NVMe cards in one M.2 Adapter Card (ASUS Hyper M.2 x16 Gen 4-Karte or ASRock Hyper Quad M.2 Card).
See planned drive layout:
Ideally idle power consumption for this 24/7 setup should be around 50 W or better below. Load should ideally not exceed 70-80 W. GPU not required.
Mainboard form-factor mATX or even mini-ITX (if onboard 10GbE).
