I need some insight and advice on Xeon-d 1520 vs Atom C2750.
I'd like to build a new NAS in the next couple months for my home/office (to replace Synology DS213). I'd be happy to build that NAS today, but I don't NEED to build it today so I can wait if something better is right around the corner.
I've been planning on basing it on an ASRock C2750D4I, but the xeon-d's look amazing. While I've decided the Supermicro X10SDV-TLN4F us too expensive, I'm having trouble deciding if I should wait for the Xeon-D 1520 and TLN2F to become available and use that or just go ahead with the Atom 2750.
What I really use my NAS for:
Time Machine backups for 3 machines.
File shares for infrequently accessed data (photo library, etc..)
Media/Torrent downloads and storage.
File sync to USB drives.
Future needs:
Enough power to run BTSync/SyncThing (Currently the DS213 barely manages SyncThing with frequent 100% CPU spikes).
Enough power to comfortably serve one 1080p stream, maybe 2... and maybe someday one 4k stream (might just be dreaming on the 4k front here the real point here is I don't need multiple streams transcoding at once, I just don't want one bringing everything else to a halt).
Supporting a 6 drive RAID ( 6 SATA ports + USB boot is OK, I planing on using a SilverStone DS380B case and would like to add more drives later, but not opposed to doing it wit ha PCI card, ultimately I want 6 HDDs + 2 SSDs someday)
Low _idle_ power consumption (hard for me to gauge xeon-d 1520 idle vs avoton c2750 idle?)
Nice to haves:
USB 3 - I run weekly backups of critical files to a external USB drive, so USB 3 would be nice, but it's not strictly necessary.
Things I don't care about
10GBe - It's going to be a long time before I have any need for 10GBe.
So... Is there some killer feature I'm missing? some horrible shortcoming I'm ignorant of? Advice please?
