TrueNAS build hardware suggestions.

[simtcr]

Hello All,

My requirement - A NAS with Gigabit speed copying and reading. Will mostly run up to 4 HDDs. (I plan to add disks as and when they get filled up). Main thing goes inside these are 4K, BluRay Movies., Which I will play via Kodi on Android TV.

For above requirement, is Intel Core i3-10100F (4 core) and 8GB DDR4 memory good enough?

I tried to find ITX board and cabinet and they are super expensive. So is it good idea to pair the i3 with ASUS Prime H510M-E Micro ATX mobo?
Is cheap 400 watt SMPS ok to drive everything?

Thanks.

Intel i3 9100 with Mini ITX Supermicro Mainboard and Jonsbo N1 - if you like very compact with up to 5x HDD

Supermicro mainboards and Jonsbo N1 is not available where I live (Need to be imported and its a hassle)

I also found that, the CPU I listed dont have integrated graphics. So now I am thinking of

Intel Pentium Gold G6405 10th Gen (2 cores)

Also how about running on this on Ryzen 3200G?

Note: I read that ECC memory is preferred, but that seems to be either expensive and not available.
That is why I want to check if its doable with desktop grade cpu, hence it can be cheap.
