New All SSD NAS setup

[xyzeratul]

Cause my new job position requires me to work in another country, I am thinking of building a mini NAS for some times.

 

My setup would be:

 

CPU and MB: onboard low-power CPUs like N100

 

RAM: 16 GB DDR5

 

Drive: 5*2TB SATA SSD in one ZFS pool（raidz1）

 

Case: 3D printed Qnas mini 

 

Since it's all SSD setup, I don't think I need a cache pool, but I don't know a ZFS pool is a good idea for this NAS or not, since it won't have ECC RAM and the CPU is kinda of weak.

zfs and btrfs without ECC can be still better than other filesystems at detecting RAM issues, since they will detected data corruption, as for performance never tried with a CPU like that but for a small raidz1 should be fine, but assign the devices as a pool, you can use an old flash drive to fulfill the current array requirement.
