Hey all,
Im in the process of building (and then ordering) a new FreeNAS.
Currently running on a QNAP that is growing old and to prevent myself from having to recover data I will buy a new NAS.
I am currently considering the following build;
Mainboard: Supermicro X10SL7-F
Case: Fractal Design R5
Power Supply: Corsair RM550x
Memory: Crucial CT2KIT102472BD160B 2X
Disk: WD RED 3TB 6x
However im contemplating what CPU to pick, im currently in doubt between;
CPU: Intel Core i3-4170
CPU: Intel Xeon E3-1231 V3
Any advice as to what I should pick?
Benchmarks all say the Xeon is faster (both Single threaded as Multi-threaded)
However, isn't it total overkill?
With kind regards,
Sarlaith

- I want to use the NAS as general storage to hold my video material (Full-HD and 4K video's are played by my HTPC running Kodi)
- Picture/Personal Movie Backup
- VM storage for my ESXi (NFS or iSCSI)
- Remove my download machine and run that in Jails with SSL connections (Couchpotato, Sickbeard, Transmission, etc)
- Run a limited SFTP-server
- Run two (maybe 3) SQL database
With kind regards,
Sarlaith
