Hi guys!
This is my first post here on the FreeNAS forum.
I currently own a Synology DS2413+ 12 bay NAS, that is populated with 12*4TB Seagate NAS drives in a Raid 6 configuration.
I currently have no good backup plan for this Synology NAS (just backing up really important data to a off-site location. It's filling up with data, with close to 30TB used storage.
The CPU (Atom D-520) is not up for the load of different tasks it's running either, and the write speed is horrible (35MB/sec) so I'm planning to move this to a family members house, and use it as offsite backup via RSYNC for our new NAS.
I have decided to go for FreeNAS for our new multipurpose familily NAS, wich will host a pretty big media library, backup and workspace for around 10 client computers ++.
I want it to be future proof, so I can maybe upgrade the case later for rackmount and a new pool expansion . But for right now I have no space or a room for a big and loud server.
This is what I am thinking of buying right now, and I would love to get feedback on the hardware:
Case: Fractal Design Node 804 mATX case
PSU: EVGA Supernova P2 750watt 80 plus Platina
Fans: 4 x Noctua 140mm PWM
MB: Supermicro X10SRM-TF-B LGA2011 mATX 2 x 10gbit M2
CPU: Intel Xeon E5-2620v4 2,1GHz 8 core
Would 4 core with higher clock speed be better?
CPU-cooler: Noctua NH-U12DX i4
RAM: Kingston DDR4 4x32GB RDIMM ECC 2400 MHz kit
Do I need 128GB ram, or is 64GB sufficient? Kingston ok?, Crucial very hard to find at reasonable prices here...
Bootdrive: Intel 600p Series M.2 2280 SSD 256GB
Is a M2 bootdrive ok, or is it really better to go for USB-sticks?
HDDs: 10 x Seagate Ironwolf 8TB - 256MB cahce 7200rpm
I'm planning for Raid Z2, but do you think Z3 would be a good idea for 8TB drives?
UPS: Powerwalker 1000watt (old one), hope it's working with FreeNAS?
All thoughts are welcome, as I am completely new to FreeNAS.
(I have experience with debian and win-servers though...)
