NICE!! I wonder if ECC support is only for DDR3 or DDR4. I'm hoping for both since I haven't moved any of my home stuff to DDR4.

Max of 64GB ram too? I think we've found our "Great White Buffalo" for small but capable VSAN and ceph builds!

I'm liking this for a few bucks more: Intel® Pentium® Processor G4620 (3M Cache, 3.70 GHz) Product Specifications

Lower power, higher frequency and all the goodies ;) hehe go big or go home, still sub 100$ CPU !!

That may push me over the edge from taking apart my home all in one, and going with a pure storage server separately.... really leaning that way so my tinkering doesn't take down my storage ;) ha ha

The only thing holding me back is UDIMM prices :( to be honest. If they were RDIMM I'd jump on this now but don't really want to pay $350+ for 64gb :-X

This chip is insane. All these features for 65 bucks
Only if you could find the CPU for $65.
Most place sold out their stocks many months ago for the Intel MSRP price.
This is one case retailer could charge full Intel list price and still move their stocks.

ok for freenas if you do not transcode with plex
Agree. I have the Haswell version of this proc (G3520 IIRC), and it purrs along just fine, but I don't do Plex transcoding or other horsepower required applications. It also lacks AES and VT-d for those interested in encrypting your pool or virtualization.

Mine is in a Fractal Node 304, Asrock e3c224d2i, with 16gb DDR3 ECC, and 6x 3tb 7200rpm Seagate drives.

Scrubs take about 2.5 hrs with 5TiB of data on the pool.


EDIT: Wow, I didn't look at the spec sheet for the Kaby Lake version until just now. This one has BOTH VT-d and AES-NI! If the platform wasn't so expensive an upgrade would be nice... I'm still considering E5 v1 gear for my next build, consolidating storage with the main machine.

Sorry for the necro, but I did already scour the internet for this info with no luck. Did anyone actually get one of these and play with it? I'm trying to find out if ECC DDR3 works, obviously not supported by Supermicro but they would have had to disable it somehow from what I understand. Intel says the memory controller supports it...

If not I guess I'll have to try to get Supermicro to answer me but I doubt it will be easy.
