New Build - Help

Post by MartynB85 »

Hi guys
I've been testing N4F in a virtual environment, now i think i'm ready to build a physical machine. It will replace my QNAP 219p and back up my data that is currently on my home server. I want it to be as low power as possible but also give me good performance.

I am thinking of using an Intel Celeron G1610 cpu, with an MSI B75MA-P45 motherboard. Can you tell me if that motherboard is supported and will work out of the box?

Here is the manufacturers link

I will install 8GB DDR3, 5 WD Red 2TB disks and possibly a 64GB SSD for cache.

Thanks

your hardware should work. Realtek cards are a hit and miss, but you can always buy a add in intel card.
Nas4Free 11.1.0.4.4517. Supermicro X10SLL-F, 16gb ECC, i3 4130, IBM M1015 with IT firmware. 4x 3tb WD Red, 4x 2TB Samsung F4, both GEOM AES 256 encrypted.
