Hi guys. I need your blessing with my planned rig. A couple of weeks ago I've just finished my first freenas build and with recent readings in this forum more and more concerns from my side rise. Currently I'm using an Asus AMD board with non-ECC ram and only got 3x4TB drives in a Raid-Z1 configuration. Now I want to replace mainboard, CPU and ram with some more serious stuff. Board and CPU have been mentioned in Cyberjock's evil thread of truth, but as I've already wasted money I really want to be sure that everything is right this time. Mostly the NAS will be needed as a dump for backups and Media files from whole household.
Current Setup:
Mainboard: Asus M5A78LM/USB-3
CPU: AMD Athlon II X2 270
RAM: Kingston 16GB Kit (2x8GB Modules) 1333 non-ECC
RAM: Kingston 16GB (Kit 2x8GB) DDR3-1333 ECC CL9 w/TS
Drives: 6x WD 4TB red
Case: Fractal Design Define Mini + 5 x 120mm Fans
PSU: NesteQ NA 4501 450watt semi-passive
Replacement:
Mainboard: Supermicro X9SCM-F
CPU: Intel Xeon E3-1230V2
RAM: Kingston 16GB (Kit 2x8GB) DDR3-1333 ECC CL9 w/TS
Again, I have most of the components already. Only mainboard, CPU and RAM would change (That's why I was looking for Micro ATX boards, so it would fit my case).
UPDATE:
I can confirm that the Asus M5A78LM/USB-3 works with Kingston 16GB (Kit 2x8GB) DDR3-1333 ECC CL9 w/TS RAM kit! I *think* ECC is on but since I only used software/command line to check there's no way to be sure. Thought that this info might be useful to anyone who wants to build a cheap freenas server with an X2 processor and ECC ram.
