I am currently running 6x3TB on Raid-Z2 with only 2x4GB non-ECC RAM, which is obviously stretching it.
I want to expand the system to 9x3TB Raid-Z2 and install 120GB SSD-Cache and a 10Gbit Nic (array will be rebuild from scratch).
My Board (X10SAE) supports up to 4x8GB ECC and I am considering the following options:
- Option 1: Install two additional 4GB or 8GB modules of non-ECC RAM (~80-120€)
- Option 2: Suck it up and buy 32GB ECC-RAM (~300€)
Obviously the second option is preferred, but a lot more expensive.
My use-Case is the following:
- All personal use, 1-3 clients connected max
- Video streaming (plex, 4k), backups/archive
- for video streaming 1Gbit Speed is enough
- for backups/archive I'd like to have more than 1Gbit, 5Gbit would be good and 10Gbit perfect
