ZFS Home Server
Sunday, August 31, 2008
Been busy, but now have some time to devote to the home server replacement.
Still keen on Opensolaris. Still looking at hardware.
CPU: AMD Athlon 64 X2 - cheap and plenty fast enough, 64 bit, dual core.
Motherboard: still looking. Requirements:-
- 4+ SATA and 1+ IDE
- GbE network
- cheap, but good quality; a no-frills workhorse
- Opensolaris HCL
Memory: 800MHz DDR2 - 2GB to start, expandable.
Graphics: no requirements - on-board or can use an old PCIe Nvidia 6200 for install.
