I would like to build a server\nas from scratch it doesn't need to be ultra powerful, actually I'm looking for the best bang for the buck, the server will be used mainly as backup server and nas to distribute files on a small office (5-6 employees)
I was thinking about going the ryzen 3 way quad core, really cheap, I like the new amd line also I would like to support them, but I read that it's supported only from kernel 4.10 up is it right? so I guess it's not feasible because omv3 installs with 3.9.0 kernel and the backported one is 4.9.0, so do I need to assume a ryzen build with omv3\omv4 could go terribly wrong? does anyone have some ryzen config right now working fine?
So with this out of the way, I assume, what would be a right choice for my needs to go with?
Considering that going intel new gen is also out of the way...so I guess I have to go back in time, but I don't know what intel\amd model (and complimentary mobo to go with) could be a great config for my needs and my wallet right now.
Any suggestion would be really helpful!!
Other goals I would achive:
- I would like to find a mobo that has more than 4 sata ports (or supports m2 ssd so I don't have to occupy a sata slot and leave them for all the data disks) I would like to have 4 or more sata ports for data disks
- I would achieve the build with a small footprint so, anything on the range matx, even itx if it's possible (but I guess the second chance is a bit troublesome with my first point about sata numbers?!)
- I would like a case with easy access to hard disks, without the need to disassemble the whole pc, just to change data hard disks, with hot swap could be awesome, I didn't find many of those to be honest, especially at a reasonable price
