Hi,
I am thinking about building a NAS, out of my old hardware which is laying around.
I have two platform to choose from.
AMD and Intel.
***** AMD Setup ********
CPU = AMD Phenom II X6 1055T (135 TDP) 2.8 GHz
MB = Gigabyte GA-890GPA-UD3H
with 16 DDR3 memory
**** Intel ***********
MB = GA-EP45-UD3R (rev. 1.1) 6x SATA 3Gb/s
CPU = Core 2 Extreme QX9650 (3.00GHz Cache=12MB) TDP 130W Quad Core Duo
Memory is DDR2 8 Gig 800Mhz
*** Intel *******
CPU = i5 3570K 3GHz (4 core no SMT)
MB = ASRock Z68
with 16 DDR3 memory
They all going to have following
1X Sandisk 128 SSD Boot
1 240 GB intel 530 SSD (For cache ?)
2 X WD1001FAES 1 TB 7200 RPM Cache 32 MB
*** may be able to add a Seagate BarraCuda 1TB 7200 RPM 64MB Cache for total of Raid 5)
They all going to have 1 Gbps Nic.
My main goal is to have NAS storage with no transcoding. Transcoding will be done at client device.
