Hello everyone!
For the past few months I have been planning a FreeNAS build and I finally have a list of components that I believe should get what I need done. I was hoping I could get some feedback on your thoughts and any recommendations if I should change anything. Other than being just a NAS for backup of data I am also planning to install PLEX to use as a home media server as well.
CPU: Intel Core i5 4570 $0
Mobo: Gigabyte GA-H97N-WIFI $115
RAM: Team Vulcan 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3-1600 $62
HDD: Hitachi Deskstar 5K3000 3TB 3.5" 5400RPM $70 ( X6 )
PSU: Corsair Builder 600W 80+ Bronze $37
I realize a Xenon and ECC ram would be the best option but I already have this CPU laying around and wanted to use it. I also wanted to make the NAS take only a small amount of room there for I elected to go with a mini ITX board and this motherboard was the only one i could find that has 6 SATA ports in that category.
I look forward to your responses as I am eager to start this build but want to make sure I do it right the first time and stay with in my budget.
Thanks!!
