Thanks for all the replies! There are so many messages that I will try to answer them all in general at once and tell more about my own thoughts related to them. MB by changing X11SPL-F to X11SPH-nCTPF, the price more than doubles when bought new (450€ -> 980€), so I don't think this is a good...

No doubt an even less powerful hardware would be just fine. However, the main components of this hardware when bought used cost almost the same as a more suitable (e.g. Xeon-D) embedded motherboard would cost used in the EU. Xeon Silver offers significantly better expansion possibilities, and...

Hi, I am building the first Truenas Core NAS device for my upcoming homelab, I'd like to have some recommendations for missing hardware options. Purpose of use - Home NAS for my family - Mainly a media server (Movies, photos, office stuff etc.) - Only NAS functions, all applications, VMs...

I'm sorry my question is off topic, but have you possibly measured IDLE power consumption? I'm interested in the same motherboard for my NAS, but I can't find the expected power consumption data anywhere.

The review didn't include any power consumption values. Do you have a chance to measure them? This is in the same price range as the D-1518, so this would be a viable option for building a new home NAS. A newer architecture would certainly be more future-proof, but power consumption is a...

I've been trying to choose a motherboard and processor for my upcoming Truenas Core build. I am completely lost with these different options. I have looked at different xeon-D, Atom and Embedded epyc models. The more I've looked at these, the more I'm lost with the different options. Budget...
