Hi,
I'm new on this community I would like to build my own FreeNas server, but I have several questions regarding compatibility and power consumption.
at first I should note that I have limited budget, and I want to improve my NAS later on:)
here Is my configuration what I 'm thinking about:
with Architecture I would like to go for SKYLAKE is it fully supported?
MOTHERBOARD I have at final selection:
Micro-ATX
https://www.asus.com/Motherboards/H170M-PLUS/
Mini-ITX
http://www.gigabyte.us/products/product-page.aspx?pid=5518#ov
for me it is important the price both are under 100€ and have 6 x SATA 6Gb/s
HDMI connector I want to install KODI there, I dont have smart TV now:)
I dont know if raid support is necessary?
what is better smaller format mini-ITX or more RAM slots for later expansion.
CPU
http://ark.intel.com/products/88179/Intel-Pentium-Processor-G4400-3M-Cache-3_30-GHz
or
http://ark.intel.com/products/90737/Intel-Celeron-Processor-G3920-2M-Cache-2_90-GHz
or
http://ark.intel.com/products/90741/Intel-Celeron-Processor-G3900-2M-Cache-2_80-GHz
In CPU about 50€ I don't know what will be the best choice but I expecting low power(if it is inactive), and if needed good performance, but less consumption is number one:)
I don't know if there is any Hibernation/WOL feature on FreeNAS?
What could be typical power consumption of these MB and CPU combination:
1. at hibernation,
2. Active disk on sleep mode
3. full active coping files and watching movies.
actually it will be only home NAS and web server but later on may be there will another role.
RAM
one 8GB or 16GB DDR4 what do you suggest will be 8 enough for start or start with 16
boot Drive,
I don't know exactly what will be best I would like to go for only USB stick are there any minimum parameters? is there any reason to use SSD?
cache
I don't want now to have any SSD cache but what do you suggest it is necessary to have it at first build or I can simply add it later,
What is better to have it as sata but I will have only 6 connector available or should I have use M.2 Socket?
HDD,
I have selected 1x 4TB WD red and 1x 4 TB Seagete NAS I have to start with RAID 1 because of limited budget.
thank you for your time
