Hello all,
I've been coming down to this forum, the guides and the links posted here, freenas wiki and all sorts of documentation floating around the net from mid Dec 2013..
I'm Nishant from Singapore and I'm building a FreeNAS box. (Feeling proud already)...
Unfortunately, we dont have a vibrant online server component stores or something (and hence a bit of delay), but finally, i've reached the kickoff stage.
I've got a couple of folks coming down from USA to SG in coming weeks, and need to settle down on Mobo and Ram.
I've the following option shortlisted for Mobo:
Supermicro X10SLM-F Motherboard - LGA1150 C224 DDR3 PCIE3.0 SATA3 uATX
Supermicro X10SLM+-F-O uATX Server Motherboard LGA 1150 Intel C224 DDR3 1600
Supermicro X10SLL-F Motherboard - LGA1150 C222 DDR3 PCIE3.0 SATA3 uATX
all between 170-180 USD.
HDD (for ZFS Z2): WD Red 3TB x 4
Processor : I3 4330 or 4130 (yet to zero down on this, depending on the total build cost and TDP)
But most of all,
I need help selecting the RAM (require 16gb ram in 2 slots).
There have been posts about how Kingston 8gb are no longer supported.
I've dug around a bit but have (almost) no constructive/concrete information on other options. Any inputs on this would be well appreciated.
THanks all!
