just sharing the little server I’m building
I plan to have it running 24/7 as NAS and multifunction server
so Docker, PLEX etc, so I mixed up NAS Killer thread and OTIS thread instructions :
CPU
Intel i9-10900T
ARCTIC Freezer 7 X
MOBO
ASUS Pro WS W480-ACE
2 x 16gb Crucial DDR4 EEC
STORAGE
Sabrent m.2 256GB Rocket
LSI SAS9211-8i IT-MODE
6 x 10Tb SAS Seagate EXOS X10 - UNRAID
2 x SFF-8087 to (4) SFF-8482 cable
POWER
Corsair HX1000
CASE
Antec P101 Silent (considering other options)
I understood that UNRAID is my best option, I’ll use mit with ZFS…
Am I doin’ something wrong?
Thanks for your help!

I’m curious about your motherboard. From my limited experience, it seems most people choose to build NAS on boards that allow ECC memory. Are you choosing to use non-ECC ram intentionally?
Can your add-on card, LSI SAS9211-8i IT-MODE, be used on any motherboard? I really only see it on Xeon builds.
Good luck with your build. When you’re finished you’ll have to post your results.
@JDM_WAAAT
well I think RAID 5 is enough security, should I go with RAID 6?
@Classic.Man
oh, actually I didn’t think about the non-EEC memory, and neither about the Xeon…
I searched but didn’t read anywhere NAS with LSI need XEON and\or ECC ram, could you point me to that information?
I choose the motherboard because of the CPU, and the CPU because of the trans-coding capability and low power consumption. I was afraid that Xeon system don’t have quicksync and other media oriented functions…
Thanks for your feedback! Of course I’ll post my results!
Yes I do, in theory, but I’m still learning about it… so I don’t really know nothing about it.
And now from your question I desume the name Unraid has something to do with not using RAID…
But is it true that the LSI card wants a XEON build?
