I'm still looking into what to use for the build, though this is the current spec.
My first FreeNAS
Chassis: Fractal Design Node 304
CPU: Intel Xeon E3-1225v2 3,2GHz If anyone has any input here, it would be much appreciated. Overpowered/underpowered?
PSU: HX Series HX650 Power Supply — 650 Watt 80 PLUS® Gold Certified Modular PSU
Motherboard: Intel S1200KPR
Memory: 8 or 16 GB of ECC ram, probably Kingston
HDD: 4 x WD30EFRX (3TB red disks) - might go with the 2TB. Initially I think it will be 2 drives, then i'll add another 2-4 later.
OS HD: SANDISK CRUZER BLADE USB 2.0 8GB I've always favored Sandisk for USB or SD memory
IBM ServeRAID M1015 crossflashed seems to be the right way to go.
So any suggestions on what I should change in this build?
