I'm looking to build the following in the next 1-2 months.
supermicro MBD-X10SL7-F-O Micro ATX Server Motherboard LGA 1150 Intel C222 ($225)
Intel Pentium G3470 ($50)
Crucial 16GB (2 x 8GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM ECC ($115)
SeaSonic G Series SSR-550RM 550W ($79)
2x SanDisk Cruzer Fit 16 GB USB 2.0 Flash Drive (2x $8) as mirrored boot drives
Fractal Design Node 804 MicroATX ($79)
Chelsio S310E-CR 10Gbps SFP+ ($40)
8 x Toshiba X300 5TB for Raidz2 ($150)
This box is intended as a directly attached storage box for my windows machine for the foreseeable future. Due to factors out of my control linking them up via the LAN is impossible. Most intensive thing this box would ever do is run samba and maybe (if I can pass a network connection to it) rtorrent/rutorrent.
Performance isn't the end all be all of this machine, I'm aware samba will cap the connection speed between the PC and the FreeNAS to maybe 200MB/s if I'm lucky.
The drives are ... untested to say the least however considering the way the Hitachi sell off went down I'm willing to take a gamble on these drives under the assumption they're still manufactured at the same factories that produced the Hitachi drives of old.
Is there anything I'm missing about this build that I've forgotten about? Are you going to try to convince me to get 4TB WD reds at the same price because they have a better warranty and are known to work better?
