Ok, so you decided to build your home FreeNAS as your file server and will be using another server running esxi for Plex, OwnCloud, and other animals.
You take a look at @Ericloewe 's article https://forums.freenas.org/index.php?resources/hardware-recommendations-guide.12/ to understand the recommended hardware is, @cyberjock's article https://forums.freenas.org/index.ph...ning-vdev-zpool-zil-and-l2arc-for-noobs.7775/ to understand more about how to setup your disks, and @jgreco article https://forums.freenas.org/index.php?threads/proper-power-supply-sizing-guidance.38811/ to size your power supply. While you're there you find a great article to understand a little bit more the power requirements for your rig https://forums.freenas.org/index.php?threads/how-to-measure-the-drive-spin-up-peak-current.38885/, by @Bidule0hm .
You decide for:
10 x 4 TiB WD Red
SUPERMICRO MBD-X11SSL-O
Intel Xeon E3-1245 v5 SkyLake 3.5 GHz
2 x SAMSUNG 16GB ECC (enough for a file server, but allow expansion)
SeaSonic X-1050
Now you have to decide on the chassis.
Considering this is a home system, taking the server off line to replace a failed hard drive it's not an issue. Also it will be running inside your office, so needs to be quite.
Below some options for you guys to "vote" and add:
0 - RPC-4216 http://www.norcotek.com/product/rpc-4216/
0 - ROSEWILL RSV-L4500 http://www.rosewill.com/rosewill-rs...15-internal-bays-8-cooling-fans-included.html
1 - SUPERMICRO 4U bare bone from e-bay
1 - RPC-4224 http://www.norcotek.com/product/rpc-4224/
Thanks!
