Hi,
I'm putting together my first FreeNAS server after 10+ years of running homebrew linux servers with various levels of storage sophistication. After spending a few hours looking at options, I've seen a lot of suggestions to buy used servers on eBay, and so I'm looking at a Supermicro X10SAE 2U Server 8-Bay 3.5" E3-1270V3 4Core 16GB 1TB SC825TQ-563LPB (link)
Planned workload is pretty light: mostly to provide a network share for Kodi on the TV, and to run a local Minecraft server.
I'm planning on putting a Kingston A400 SSD 120GB in it for the boot disk, and for storage a few Seagate IronWolf NAS 5900RPM to start with.
Anyone see anything obviously wrong with that plan? I saw some notes in other threads about some backplanes/motherboards not supporting drives over 2TB... how do I tell if this one has that restriction?
