I'm upgrading my old FreeNAS 0.7 box after a hard drive failure and soon to be failing motherboard. After reading out on the Internet and posts here, this is the parts I'm looking at right now. I'm asking for a second eye on the list in case I've missed something. Thank you for your time.
Case: Fractal Design Node 804
Motherboard: Supermirco X10SL7-F
Processor: Intel Xeon E3-1231 v3
Hard Drives: 6 - Western Digital 4TB Red (RaidZ2)
Boot Drive: 16GB USB 3.0 plugged into motherboard
Memory: Undecided yet, but 16GB of ECC
Power Supply: Undecided yet
I'm looking for suggestions on the power supply and ECC RAM. I also have a question regarding the motherboards on board SAS controller. I've read that you can plug SATA drive directly into the SAS ports and use them, but I also read that you can't. Can someone enlighten me here.
