Hi
I am currently in the process of gathering parts to build a Freenas server mainly to run Plex off. I read somewhere that using an SSD to hold the Plex metadata will decrease loading times on large libraries is this true?
My current parts list is as follows:
Case: Fractal Define R4 (http://www.fractal-design.com/home/product/cases/define-series/define-r4-black-pearl)
Motherboard: Supermicro X10SL7-F (http://www.supermicro.com/products/motherboard/Xeon/C220/X10SL7-F.cfm)
CPU: Intel Xeon E3-1231V3 3.4GHZ LGA1150 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Description=intel Xeon E3 processor&Submit=ENE)
Memory: 2x Crucial CT4484988 16GB kit (http://www.crucial.com/usa/en/x10sl7-f/CT4484988)
Power Supply: Coolermaster V650s 650w (http://www.coolermaster.com/powersupply/modular-vs-series/v650s/)
Boot Drive: Sandisk Ultra 16GB flash drive (http://www.sandisk.com/products/usb/drives/ultra3/)
Hard Drives: WD Red 6TB SATA 3 (http://www.computerlounge.co.nz/components/componentpop.asp?partid=22517)
I was thinking of converting the 5.25 bay to hold an SSD has anyone done this with this case?
If so could they recommend what parts they used?
Also is one large or two smaller SSD's a better option?
How much memory will i need i currently have 10TB of media but plan to pretty much fill the 32.7TB on this server with media?
Basically any help would be appreciated
Thanks in advance
