Hi folks,
I want to upgrade my old fileserver. Usually i've used to use linux fileserver with smb and afp-shares. Now, one hdd died and I thought it would be a good idea to switch to freenas. The main reason: data integrity / zfs.
I want to set up a raidz1 (maybe raidz2) and a backup to 1 or 2 big usb-hdds. I need the server just for 2 user, afp and maybe nfs and smb. The space will be used to save some pictures, videos, downloads...
My thoughts:
My Problem: I'm not sure if the X9SAE is a real choice, cause I found this
I didnt choose a Xeon, cause i want to buy my nas as cheap as possible... further i think, i dont need the xeon-power afaik. So if the X9SAE supports no ECC support with a core i3 (third gen.), i must drop my usb3-wishes or i choose the Asus P8C WS!?
Does you guys have any ideas?
Aside from that, i would be thankful for every tip or suggestion about my planed server. Does my setup make sense?
Greetings

My thoughts:
- Case: I think i want to use my old Case... much Space... - Lian Li PC-A71B
- PSU: I also want to use the old one - SeaSonic S12II-380Watt
- CPU: Intel Core i3-3220
- HDD: I want to use my 3 old Seagate (ST31500341AS) + 2 new 1,5 - 2GB HDDs
- RAM: Kingston KVR13E9K2/16 (2x8GB)
- MB: Supermicro X9SAE OR Asus P8C WS
My Problem: I'm not sure if the X9SAE is a real choice, cause I found this
here. Otherwise i couldnt find any differentiation in the manual. Afaik only the i3 third generation supports ECC, maybe the X9SAE supports only the latest gen?Single socket H2 (LGA 1155) supports
Intel® Xeon® E3-1200 v2 series,
Core i7/i5/i3 (non-ECC UDIMMs only),
Pentium® & Celeron® processors
