I would like to thank everyone for their contributions to this community. I am currently planning my first FreeNAS build and have done research on these forums and the "FreeNAS Community Hardware Guide (2016-10 Edition Revision 1c)" to conclude that this will be my build for my FreeNAS/Plex Server
1) Motherboard: ASRock Rack E3C224D4I-14s i
2) HDDs: (3xWD 4TB WD40EFRX) + (4x HGST 4TB HMS5C4040ALE64) + (4xHGST HMS5C4040BLE640)
3) CPU: Intel Xeon 1220 v3 3.1Ghz
4) RAM: Expecting to install 32GB. But brand is undecided and I am open to suggestions.
5) Case: Undecided and I am open to suggestions.
This board has been in the market for almost two years and because of that I expected the community to have had ample time to take this board through it's paces. The sentiment from the "Hardware Guide" and these forums were mostly positive. However, I found a negative review on this board saying it was not appropriate for FreeNAS and that the user experienced "silent errors" in the "decryption process". (Screenshot Attached to this posting).
Now I am confused as to whether this board is suitable for FreeNAS or not. Can someone out there please share their experiences with using the E3C224D4I-14s with FreeNAS with me? Has anyone experienced these errors?
Many Thanks in advance!
