I'm currently browsing the ASRock site out or curiosity about their server board offerings. I want to build a new TrueNAS server in the spring/summer of this year and I'm considering going for AMD if that is viable. I'm looking at the options from ASRock and came across this board that looks very interesting.
ASRock ROMED6U-2L2T
I see it has three Mini-SAS HD Connectors which seem to get their PCI-E connectivity directly via the CPU. So that means this is straight SATA connectivity so TrueNAS has direct access to the drives right?
The only problem is see with this board that it doesn't seem to be for sale anywhere. Is this a new model?
What kind of CPU would pair nicely with this board for a TrueNAS system without it going to unreasonable price territory. I'm looking at the EPYC 7002 table in WikiPedia and these seems seem interesting options:
How well supported is this platform now on TrueNAS? Considered to be mature and stable or not?
