Hello everyone:
For the past three weeks here and there, I've been doing research about NAS systems, and have narrowed my choice of hardware. But I still have a few questions.
Proposed build:
CPU: Intel Core i3-4130T - stock cooler should be fine?
RAM: Crucial 16GB (2x8GB) Unbuffered ECC DDR3 - I read about Supermicro supporting Hynix and Samsung... but would this RAM work with the Supermicro board as well?
Motherboard:Either ASUS P9D WS or Supermicro X10SLL-F - I'm leaning towards the Supermicro. I don't see anything in the ASUS that I would particularly want. The supermicro also has IPMI support, which seems like a nice bonus. I heard about some reason not to go with ASUS but couldn't find why exactly. I need convincing. Supermicro it is.
PSU: Seasonic SSR-450RM - what's the difference between this one and the S12G-450? The latter says "Haswell ready" but I can't find any significant difference.
HDD: 4 x Western Digital Red 4TB (in RAID-Z2)
UPS: Need one. I saw the CP850PFCLCD from CyberPower mentioned in another thread, but any other recommendations? I'll need to go a little shopping to see more choices.
Case: Fractal Design Arc Midi R2 - still need to do a little shopping to see if there's a cheaper option with similar quality/drive bays.
That should be it. I've kept a little room for expandability (2 extra DIMM slots open and 8 drive bays) in case I ever want to put four more 4TB drives in another RAID-Z2 vdev. (although I'd have to go get a M1015)
This will mainly be used for file sharing/storage, as well as media streaming/transcoding.
