I'm rebuilding my home NAS from Ubuntu 16.04 to FreeNAS 10 and looking to see if this hardware would be ok. It's pretty lightweight. 6tb zfs raid 5 with 6 tb usb3 backup. plex server, minecraft server, cable tv recording, and some light docker work.
Hardware being considered:
Supermicro micro atx MBD-X9SCL-F (1155, sandy bridge) could also go with the X9SCM-F. They are about the same $$$
Intel xeon e3-1270
16gb ECC memory
My system now is running an old core i7 lynnfield cpu (860) so I think the e3-1270 won't be any slower and might be a bit faster. From what I can tell the cpu supports real mode so the hypervisor in FreeNAS should not have any trouble.
Thanks for your input.
