Hello, community! I am here to build my first NAS!
I live in S.Korea, I was Synology user(DS918+), but I think I wanted to build my own.
I run Plex server for my family and friends, 1 Windows VM and 1 Ubuntu VM, some docker containers with my own web server. which is super low performance in Synology. And I also need larger capacity.
After I tested UI, I am now sure that Truenas is TRUELY my future system.
I got this 4U 12 hot swap case, M/B support up to ATX, Nvidia quadro P400 for Plex, enough HDDs and SSDs, Finally Intel QL2F, which is Xeon Silver 4114 ES working on slightly lower speed
But I haven't devided my mobo yet. These are my options. Both got onboard 12+ SATA, 2 SFP+ ,and enough scalability for me.
1. Asus Z11PA-U12/10G-2S
2. Supermicro X11SPH-nCTPF
Asus's has more DIMM slot and 2x oculink. Low TDP option on CPU does not mean since it is home use(And expansive electricity bill in Korea!).
But I am not sure about Asus itself in server-grade market(I trust them on my desktop).
Supermicro's has onboard SAS HBA and 2x SATADOM and x8 PCIE uplink. And it's M.2 port supports x4, not x2 in Asus's.
And I am little familar with their mobo. However it is noticeably expansive in Korea. Maybe because of HBA chip or something?
Has Anyone have experience in this MB, or any ASUS server-grade motherboard? I think I will build my NAS by Asus MB if there are nothing special issues.
