Hello everyone!
I have been following this forum for a few months and want to make the jump into the home server.
I am trying to create my first build through what I read on the internet but the more I read the less I know.
I want to create a mini-ITX server with a maximum of 6 HDDs in the future. The purpose will be just for Plex 2 users to transcode at maximum, *Arr things, Nextcloud, Torrent, and Debian VM for Docker containers. As this was to be a lower noise and power consumption server, tried to create this build but I think that RAM will not handle efficiently TrueNAS.
Case: 1x Fractal Design Node 304
Motherboard: 1x ASRock J5040-ITX
RAM: 2x Crucial 4GB DDR4-2400 SODIMM - CT4G4SFS824A (No ECC because think it will not be useful for now)
PSU: 1x Be Quiet! Pure Power 11 350W
Storage: 1x 80GB Spare SSD (Sorry for not giving you info but I need to find it first) + 2x WD Red™ Plus 6TB NAS Hard Drive 3.5"
After reading some threads here I think the best is to add more RAM (maybe stick the maximum to 16GB) and replace the Motherboard because of Realtek RTL8111H. What CPU, motherboard, and RAM would replace on this build to maintain the power consumption low and noise? About the power consumption, I am more worried about the idle power because I cannot see anything on the datasheet regarding that.
Thank you so much for your time!
Have a nice weekend
