Hi everyone,
I am planning to build my first FreeNAS system. This NAS will be a home system: file server, backup, streaming (MP3, HD, maybe 4K in the future?), small DB (Digikam photo collection), some jails (Syncthing, Nextcloud, DLNA server). I want to establish a RAIDZ2.
Did "some" reading on this beforehand (complete guide to FreeNAS hardware design, FreeNAS community hardware guide, various posts, M.W. Lucas' FreeBSD Mastery: ZFS, various web searches).
I want to start with 32GB of RAM with the option to upgrade to 64GB.
Especially with regards to the CPU I am open to suggestions. The Intel Core i3-7300 4.0 GHz has a GPU which I don't think is necessary but otherwise it should do for my use case.
OK, this is the outcome of my findings:
Case: Fractal Design Core 500 FD-CA-CORE-500-BK
RAM: Samsung - DDR4 - 16 GB - DIMM 288-PIN - 2400 MHz PC4-19200 - CL17 - 1.2 V - ECC (M393A2K40BB1-CRC)
Power: Seasonic 80 Plus Gold Power Supply
HDD: 6x WD Red 2 TB
Motherboard: Supermicro X11SSM-F
CPU: Intel Core i3-7300 4.0 GHz
Boot device(s), mirrored: 2x SanDisk SSD Plus 2.5 120GB
Many thanks in advance! Happy to hear your ideas!
