I'm working on building a new FreeNAS box. This is my second Freenas box but the first one that I want to do right. With so many options I'm trying to narrow down my selections. I use my server mostly for plex and file sharing. 1 - 4 users at a time.
I'm pretty sure this is what I want to go with but want to hear other options.
MB - Supermicro X10SLM-F
CPU - Intel E3 1246 v3
RAM - Samsung 8GB PC3-12800 (DDR3-1600) Memory (M391B1G73QH0YK0) x2
I want to run RaidZ2. I don't need a ton of storage but don't want to cut myself short. I was thinking of going with 5-6 3TB WD Red drives. Would that be good enough?
I also found this case used (https://www.supermicro.com/en/products/chassis/2U/825/SC825TQ-563LPB) online with the fans and PSU's. 1. Is that a good case? 2. Would you trust the used fans and psu?
I also have a LSI 6Gbps SAS HBA LSI 9200-8i. Would I need to use that or does the MB handle raid?
Thanks!
