Hi everybody,
I'm French so all my apologies for the mistakes in my post... I know how you're tolerant with this... :p
First, I would like to thank jgreco for this thread : http://forums.freenas.org/index.php?threads/so-you-want-some-hardware-suggestions.12276/ It helped me a lot !
I live in New Caledonia, it's a French Isle in South Pacific Ocean, near Australia. In my country we don't have huge electronic stores so I must order everything "specific" over the Internet. I must group my orders too in 1 store only, because customs and shipment cost much, very much ! I must also find a store who delivers in New Caledonia, not very simple too !
So here is my future build, I wish.
CPU : Intel Xeon E3-1220V3 (3.1 GHz) : http://www.ldlc.com/fiche/PB00159772.html : 209,95 € / $285.77
Mother Board : ASRock E3C226D2I : http://www.ldlc.com/fiche/PB00160259.html : 199,95 € / $272.16
Case : Fractal Design Node 304 Noir : http://www.ldlc.com/fiche/PB00135558.html : 69,95 € / $95.21
PSU : Seasonic G-360 80PLUS Gold : http://www.ldlc.com/fiche/PB00136219.html : 59,95 € / $81.60
RAM : Kingston ValueRAM 8 Go DDR3 1600 MHz ECC CL11 x 2 : http://www.ldlc.com/fiche/PB00145137.html : 242,90 € / $330.63
USB Drives : SanDisk Cruzer Fit 8 Go x 3 : http://www.ldlc.com/fiche/PB00148938.html : 22,50 € / $30.63
Various stuff : Câble d'alimentation Molex pour appareil SATA x 2 (I need this because the PSU has only 4 SATA cables) : http://www.ldlc.com/fiche/PB00016878.html : 5,98 € / $8.14
Hard Drives :
WD Red Desktop 4 To SATA 6Gb/s x 6 : http://www.ldlc.com/fiche/PB00153210.html : 839,75 € / $1,143
or
WD Red Desktop 3 To SATA 6Gb/s x 6 : http://www.ldlc.com/fiche/PB00133401.html : 718,50 € / $978
Shipment : 198 € / $ 270
Total (without shipment) :
6 x 4 To : 1818,88 € / $2,476 (with 19.6 VAT)
6 x 3 To : 1530 € / $2,082
PS : To = Tb
Welcome to my cheap world ! (customs apply then, but on the price without VAT)
Customs rate in my country for electronics : 34%....
So regardless the awful price (if someone can ship me the hardware, I would be happier), what do you think about this build ? I will create a RAIDZ-2 BTW.
I'm aware of the fact that I have to disable USB3 with this MB. I have also few questions :
- Anyone experencied the Fractal Design case ? 6 hard drives fit well in ?
- My only fear about FreeNAS is the failure of the motherboard, will it be easy to replace it ? (even 5 years later with different chipset, CPU, etc...), I have read this thread but I want to be sure : http://forums.freenas.org/index.php...u-replacement-need-for-a-fresh-install.12900/
I work in an IT environment so I'm aware of updates about FreeNAS and I will apply them.
- Can I add a graphic card later for HDMI output ? (PCI Express port)
Thank you for your interest ! Best regards.
