Hey folks, I've been reading through this forum for a while and came up with a build for a FreeNAS system, I'd like you to take a quick look at.
Hardware:
Intended Usage:
There is nothing that needs transcoding, the majority will be Photos, Music, and some other non-media files. The space required is not that much at the moment, so I want to start with just two mirrored disks with the option to add another mirrored pair.
Besides the storage, there will be other applications running in jails:
Mailserver
PhotoPrism (which can get quite CPU intensive when a lot of images are run through the ML categorizers, but that's not time-critical)
Some file hosting service. I am not a fan of Nextcloud and I also don't need all the features, so I am looking for something less bloated.
Eventually, some VMs just to play around with some stuff.
Specific Questions:
Thanks a lot!
Hardware:
- Board: Supermicro X11SCL-F
- CPU: Intel Core i3-8300
- Memory: Samsung M391A4G43MB1-CTD 1x, 32GB, DDR4-2666, DIMM 288
- Case: Supermicro SC721TQ-250B
- Disks: 2x Seagate IronWolf 4TB, 3.5", CMR
- Boot: 2x Crucial BX500 120GB, 2.5"

Specific Questions:
- The Supermicro case comes with a 250W PSU, would that be enough even with 4 disks?
- Please double-check if CPU/Memory/Board work together and all support ECC (after going through all the threads about matching setups I got a bit paranoid about that)
- Any obvious errors in the setup that I've missed?
Thanks a lot!
