I am not sure what to do now... I read HW recomendations here and I am not sure which way I should go. I can buy recomended ServeRAID M1015 and connect it to this system I have and hope it will be ok. But thats not all great. I know i also should use ECC memory - I had a freenas 5 years ago and also lost all my data because of bad ram. (it was that bad that during copy everything was damaged) That was that day when I bought adaptec 3405 and made hw raid5 and was happy. (and also bought fm1 one motherboard with hdmi output and used it as htpc).
With freenas I cant use it as htpc, but I can use plex and thats not bad. I also had a problem with virtual win10 installed on freenas. CPU was almost all the time at 100% (irq request in win10 task manager) So my experience was not flawless.
I think I have several possible choices...
1. Forget about raid and put drives to my pc, important data on all drives and maybe one drive as cold storage. (run virtual system there and also run servio)
2. Buy a ServeRAID M1015 card and hope that rest will work.
3a. Buy a new hardware with 6 sata ports. (ASRock AB350 Pro4)
3b. Buy a new hardware with less ports and ServeRAID M1015. (probably cheaper B350 board)
4. Buy a new hardware with less sata ports and LSI 9260-8i 512MB and make hw raid6 (without freenas).
I am looking for AMD 2200G, because I think it has a great price / performance value. I also may use it again as HTPC and also for playing some older games in living room. I dont know, but maybe 4 is the best choice for me...
