Hi Guys,
Am coming to the end of a hardware hunt for my freenas system which hopefully should last me :P
I have a question about the following specification.
Intel Celeron G440 1.6GHz or Intel Celeron G530T 2.0Ghz
Gigabyte GA-PH67-DS3-B3
2x 4GB DDR3 RAM 1333MHz
2x AOC-SASLP-MV8 Storage Controllers
5x 2TB Seagate Barracuda Green
5x 2TB WD Caviar Green
Powercool PSU (450w, 80plus)
This will be expanded to potentially 20 disks over the course of 24 months.
Real world usage is:
- 90% of the day dormant
- 2 users MAX
- Storing/viewing photos
- Adding dvd/bluray rips to the library
- Streaming from the HTPC
- Most access is via CIFS but streaming to the HTPC is via NFS
Will either of the processors be able to keep up (link to processors below) or should I go for something with more power?
Crucial to the build though is that I keep power consumption low and these chips have a max TDP of 35w.

I have looked into getting a low power i3 but they are expensive at the moment.
