I got into FreeNAS with enthusiast hardware because I didn't think it mattered. Then I put a bunch of data that I care about onto it. Then I read the guide from @cyberjock and learned a lot. I have a pretty decked out 30GB RAM (non-ecc) i7 x58 build that I now think is going to need to go to ebay.
I am looking at this system to finally get a server CPU and some ECC RAM: https://cukusa.com/hp-proliant-ml10-gen9-tower-server-desktop.html
So, here's my question(s):
It seems to come pretty highly recommended, but as you can see on the page... as you upgrade it it doesn't say that the RAM is ECC. Does that mean it's not? Or is it implied because it's server grade?
I'm fine with spending $500 so is there much benefit to upgrading the CPU?
Do I need to buy more RAM from somewhere else to get ECC?
Is this place a legit place to buy from or is there a better recommendation?
Is the 300W powersupply good? Will this machine be really hot?
For $500 should I be looking at another machine? This will be a home NAS and I want to have a good mix of performance, but most importantly is stability and handle the 4 disk x 4TB Z2RAID well for home use.
