So... Have Truenas 13 running for a couple years.. built it on a basic Dell home PC...
Honestly has been working just fine.
Current is an Intel i7-4770 on a basic Dell PC motherboard (don't remember what model)
Running Z2 with 5, 4Tb drives
Pretty much it is data storage,, I am a photog so just need lots of storage... I also run Plex but that is used few and far between.
Had the bug to build a new box.. was thinking something a bit more "robust" than an old PC....
Had settled on
MoBo Supermicro MBD X11SSM-F-O (All the SATA ports I need)
CPU: Intel i3-7320
Ram 4x Kingston 8GB DDR4 ECC DIMM
Boot drive Samsung 870 EVO 500Gb SSD SATA
Case: Antec P101
Mainly for the ECC
But now wondering if for my needs is that a step down or a step up? Going from i7 to i3 just for ECC
Thoughts on this?
