Hi Everyone,
I have decided to set myself up with a FreeNAS 8.2 box for home use. Basically Movie rips, Photos, Music, Time Machine backups, etc...
I am aiming for a 6x3TB RaidZ2 plus an SSD cache drive. So 7 SATA drives in total.
I have been trying to consult the FreeBSD compatibility list for choosing some of my hardware but I am completely lost. This is what I have so far:
Case - Antec 300
Power Supply - Corsair Builder Series CX430 V2 430W 80 Plus Certified
At this point, I am trying to decide on which motherboard and Intel Processor to get. Do I get one with 7 SATAIII ports on it? Would it be cheaper to get something with less SATA ports and get a controller instead? Which controller? Which motherboard? Which processor?
Also, any other recommendations for the rest of the hardware (Drives, Memory, etc...) would be REALLY appreciated.
Thanks
