Hi,
Building a box to replace my seriously old FreeNAS server, and thought best to get it sanity checked.
I'm replacing a HP N36L Microserver (~9 years old now) that has 16GB ECC RAM and 5TB of usable storage (a 2TB and a 3TB RAID1Z sets), running FreeNAS 9.1 (I think - I haven't updated it for a while) Doesn't do much other than be a NAS, a TimeMachine backend, run Transmission (via a plugin jail) and DLNA server (via a plugin MiniDNLA jail) without transcoding. I've got another general purpose jail on it, running a PHP photo gallery app. It's not doing anything as I'd describe as heavy usage.
I'm looking at something a bit more modern, but of a similar form factor. Currently considering:
SUPERMICRO MBD-X10SDV-4C-TLN2F-O Intel Xeon D-1521 Mini ITX Server Motherboard
SUPERMICRO CSE-721TQ-250B Black Mini-Tower Server Case
Supermicro MEM-DR416L-SL01-ER21 16GB DDR4 2133 RDIMM Server Memory RAM
And either a pair of 8TB or 4 x 4TB Western Digital Red NAS drives, and a small SSD to boot off.
So, will it FreeNAS?
Thanks,
Nevryn
