Hi!
I have around 3k (€, location is Austria, Europe) to spend on my server/IT environment.
Currently I have an old AMD Athlon from mid 2010 running plain ubuntu and a bunch of differently sized (and aged) disks ranging from 2-8TB. It's just a JBOD that provides access via NFS to the local network. Fortunately, none of the disks have failed yet.
Specs:
Athlon II X2 250: 2x3Ghz
4GB Non ECC DDR3 RAM
I suspect this system would be too slow/old for a ZFS, right?
Thats what I thought! I came up with the following:
CPU: Ryzen 5 3600 (100-100000031BOX)
RAM: Samsung 32GB ECC DDR4 RAM (M391A4G43MB1-CTD)
MB: ASRock Rack X570D4U-2L2T
HBA: Broadcom SAS 9300-8i (H5-25573-00/LSI00344)
PSU: Seasonic 500W (SS-500L1U) (not exactly this, but clouse enough)
Disks: 6x WD Ultrastar DC HC330 10TB (WUS721010AL5204/0B42258)
And a small SSD for the system, no ZIL/SLOG planned.
I want to use the WDs for a raid-z2 as a storage for mainly movies, photos and other rather large files. Mainly read, the occasional write and as far as I can tell definitly not with dedup enabled (Since there wont be much to dedup like whole backups from other disks).
Would this system be overpowered? I've read around, and although Intel seems to be preferred by the majority of people, AMD seems to run fine.
Since I do not want to spend much more than 3k and also need a new main pc (development machine), I thought about buying a new machine and use the old one for TrueNAS.
Disks would be the same as above (The WD HC330s), strap in the HBA and PSU.
The rest of the old machine:
MB Asus Crosshair IV Formula (890FX Chipset, max 16GB Ram, ECC Support) Sorry, I could not find a link for this anymore.
CPU: AMD FX8350 (8x4Ghz)
RAM: Some Generic Kingston HyperX DDR3 1600 non-ECC sticks
Would this performance wise be enough? Maybe swap out the memory for some ECC sticks? Since 16GB is the maximum amount I can put on this board, is this still enough (no ZIL/SLOG/dedup)?
Im thankful for any advices you may have ;)
