Sorry to be adding on to all of the others... Just looking for a check of my build, a few quick questions I'd like to ask too. Planning on building around an 5TB FreeNAS setup. Will predominantly be used for media streaming. Most likely will have a Sickbeard/SABNzbd setup for downloading also if possible.
Case: Fractal Design Define R4
Motherboard: Supermicro X10SLM-F
CPU: Intel Xeon X3-1230v3
RAM: KVR16E11/8 8GB Kingston ValueRAM - unbuffered with ECC
PSU: Seasonic G series 360W
HDDs: x5 WD 3TB Red (in Raidz3)
My only concerns are regarding lack of Haswell compatibility with FreeNAS. I've also seen a bit of anecdotal info about various PSU's being incompatible with IPMI and supermicro boards, but couldn't find anything solid about it.
Supermicro availability is a bit tricky here, but I can get a X9SCM-F and a X3-1230v2 for pretty much the same price if there's an issue with the Haswell CPU. Are there any serious compatibility issues with Haswell?
The HDDs will be in RaidZ3 in a single vdev. For expandability, I'll add another vdev of another 5 3tb HDDs and a M1015 when required.
I'm just looking for feedback in case I've missed anything stupid. Thanks!
