Hi all,
I am a newbuy on this world of freenas. I am building a new system for home porpouses as a christmas gift.
I've been reeding a lot and finally, I decide to buy the following:
- Case: Fractal Node 804
- MOBO: Asus Z97M Plus - I now that it does not support ECC - but as this is just for fun it has no sense for me that extra investment in MOBO and memory
- 16 GB of Kingston memory
- INTEL G3220 processor
The MOBO has 6 SATA intel ports, but I want to extend this to at least 10.I know that the recommended sata controller is the M1015, but it is impossible to find a cheap one in spain, and if I order it to americas it goes for 200$. Is there any other that should work well with freenas or should I use a SATA port multiplier?
Thank you very much for your help
