Let me start by saying thanks for the many useful articles and answers that I found here! This is my first NAS build and this forum has been a great help!!
So, down to business now;) I'm building a NAS for home use (me alone) and I think I have found the best hardware, but I need a global review of my selection and I still have a few questions.
Build will be for lots of photo's and movies, running sabnzbd, couchpotato, sickbeard..... I'll Samba share to Windows 8, one HTPC (yet to build) and perhaps Android phone and iPad, all attached to my WD MyNet N900 Gigabit router. It'll run RAIDZ2 with 6x3TB.
Here's my hardware:
Case: Define Mini
Mobo: Supermicro X9SCM-F
CPU: Intel Pentium G2020
RAM: Kingston 16GB 1333Mhz DDR3 ECC CL9 DIMM 2x8GB kit (KVR1333D3E9SK2/16G)
PSU: Be-Quiet! Straight Power E9 450W
HDD: 6x Western Digital Red 3TB
USB: Kingston 100 Generation 3 USB 2.0 stick
USB Adapter: StarTech USB A Female to Motherboard Header Adapter
Surge Protector: Brennenstuhl Primera-Line Surge Protector
UPS: ???????
1. Anything I missed? Compatibility issues, better options, underpowered/overpowered etc...
2. It seems recommended to go for an UPS? I can't really find anything about it, so can I get some recommendations? Its purpose would be to attach my PC (750W), NAS (450W), HTPC (?) and router (?) as well as my monitor (?). I don't care about battery backup time, needs to be one minute or something, so my devices can safely shut down via USB connection to UPS. And do I need the Surge Protector if I get an UPS?
3. Does the PSU fit in the case? Case is m-ATX and PSU is ATX. And is 450W too much? Note: I'll never add more HDD's.
4. This one might be silly: There's two Supermicro mobo's: the X9SCM-F and the X9SCL-F-O. I can get the X9SCL-F-O a lot cheaper, but it has 6x SATA 2 instead of the other 2x SATA3 and 4x SATA2. Since I only use HDD's there's no real need for SATA3, so would I be ok buying the X9SCL-F-O model?
5. Does the G2020 unofficially support 1600Mhz ECC RAM? Because then I'll buy 1600...
