Here is my current plan for my NAS upgrade.
Motherboard: SuperMicro MBD-X10SAE-O ATX LGA1150 C226 (219.99)
CPU: Intel Core i3-4150 Haswell Dual-Core 3.5GHz LGA1150 BX80646I34150 (129.99)
RAM: Samsung DDR3-1600 8GB/1Gx72 ECC M391B1G73BH0-CK0 (101.99)
(RAM taken from the supported RAM list for the motherboard on SuperMicro's site)
Storage: +4x Western Digital Red NAS Hard Drives WD10EFRX 1TB (279.96)
Storage: 2x 1TB HDDs already owned (1 Samsung Spinpoint F1 and 1 Western Digital Caviar Black 1TB)
Storage Configuration: 6 disk RAIDZ2
Full zpool encryption: Possibly, haven't decided for certain.
PSU: Already owned Antec Earthwatts 350W (May need to upgrade) - Looking into eventual upgrade to a redundant PSU, so if need to upgrade is there suggestions for those would be great.
UPS: Already owned, Tripp-Lite SMART1500
Case: Already owned, Antec 300.
Usage scenario: Light CIFS fileserver duty primarily (Only being accessed by one maybe two clients at any given moment). Weekly overnight backup storage from a desktop PC and a laptop.
Any known incompatibilites that anyone can see there that I have perhaps overlooked? Any known issues with FreeNAS running on the hardware in question? Any performance issues you can see me running into with the RAID configuration or anything like that?
Also, was possibly looking at the Intel Pentium G3220 Haswell Dual-Core as an alternative to the i3 for a cheaper cost, but I noticed that it didn't seem to have AES-NI support. If I do decide to go with an encrypted pool will the performance degradation be too large for that processor, or would the G3220 still be powerful enough to overcome it for CIFS file transfer speeds to be not effected or negligibly effected?
