Hi everyone, I'm currently ready to pull the trigger on a much needed upgrade from an aging FreeNAS server that's still running 11.2-U2.1 code. It has x4 WD Red 10TB in RAID-Z2 and space is running out. Admittedly I'm rusty as I learned on the fly years ago, configured it, and just let it do it's thing.
I'm looking to build a TrueNAS SCALE server based on the Intel W680 chipset since it's more widely available than it was a year ago. It's going to be used to stream movies and music via Plex. This new box will hopefully set me up for another 4-5 years.
I'm hoping for recommendations to build around the SUPERMICRO MBD-X13SAE-F-O and hear what people here think. Proposed parts list is below. The memory selection is based on a compatibility doc from Supermicro's resources page for this board and I believe the HBA card should work based on the boards PCI-Express 3.0 compatibility. The 12600K was selected for it's ECC compatibility, 12th gen support of the board, and it's less expensive than other chips.
SUPERMICRO MBD-X13SAE-F-O
Intel Core i5-12600K
64GB DDR5-4800 ECC UDIMM (MEM-DR532MD-EU48)
x4 Seagate Exos X20 RAID-Z2
LSI Broadcom SAS 9300-8i
