Like so many others I'm looking to replace my Synology & my big home all in one, with something lower-power I can leave on all the time but I'd still like enough 'power' to do some misc testing for work so I want the expandability of mATX/ATX.
Motherboard: SuperMicro X11SSL-nF
RAM: Not sure yet. I'm thinking 2x8GB or 2x16GB to start, although likely both are more than enough.
AOC: Intel 2x Port 10GigE
Spinners: 6x WD 4TB (Raid Z2)
NVME: 2x Intel 750 400GB
SATADOM: 2x 64GB SuperMicro Mirrored (hopefully) for OS
Case: One of the many ATX cases I own.
PSU: One of the many ATX-home style PSUs I already own.
OS: ZFS On Linux (Ubuntu most likely)
CPU: Intel® Pentium® Processor G4500 3M Cache, 3.50 GHz
The CPU is def. a lower-end model -- hoping it could still allow full utilization of the Intel 750 NVME drives. I was looking at the 15w-25w models too, but I don't think the power savings is really that relevant compared to the # of HDDs I have, and may eventually upgrade to a Xeon model if needed, but other than NVME performance I don't see the a higher-end CPU needed for the purpose of this, thoughts?
I have everything except: CPU, Motherboard, RAM already too.
