Hi all,

 

I just wanted to know if my components brings any alarms or compatibility issues or any other input any might have? all comments are welcome!

This would be my first Unraid build and would be replacing the Synology DS1817+ I got now. I like the idea of parity but with full disk writes and not spread on many as well as easier expandability. 

 

I have been following Tybio's build over at:

My thinking is the board should run all on-board sata fro the disks 1 NVMe for cache drive and one express used as 10GB card?

 

So far my idea is:

 

1 x Intel Xeon E-2278G CPU

1 x Noctua NH-U12A CPU Cooler

1 x ASUS WS C246M PRO Motherboard (a little unsure on this one?)

ASUS WS-C246M-PRO Motherboard

2 x Samsung DDR4-2666 CL19 ECC SC - 16GB RAM (for 32 GB on 2 sticks)

2 X Samsung M391A2K43BB1-CTD 16GB Ram Module ECC

1 x Samsung 970 PRO SSD M.2 2280 - 1TB (for cache drive?)

Samsung 970 PRO 1TB SSD NVMe Cache Drive

8 x WD Gold DC HA750 Enterprise Class SATA HDD - 14 TB - 3.5" - 7200 rpm - SATA-600 - 512 MB cache

8 X WD Gold DC HA750

1 x Fractal Design Define R6 Case with extra caddies for 11 slots of 3.5" drives (gives me a bit of future expandability?)

Fractal R6 Case

While overkill I got a spare ASUS ROG Thor 850P power supply I can use, I might change this though.

 

Any thoughts or comments ? 

 

Cheers!
