Hello there!
Since 2 years, i am a happy user of OMV, it response to my needs. It is fast, well thinked, low power consumption( run all year), and there is plex
I currently have this configuration in a Zalman M1:
Asrock AM1b-ITX
AMD Athlon 5350
Corsair 2x4G ddr3 1600Mhz
PSU Be Quiet Pure Power L8 430w
Rheobus Kaze master II
and disks:
_1x WD 500G (system)
_2x WD RED 4TO
_1x WD RED 2 TO
This build consumes 20 to 25 watts/hour.
By time, disk space is a fatality, i need to have 2 more disks to my OMV NAS. This motherboard only have 4 sata ports...
I bought a sata card controller on Ebay, but the card does not work, it seems because it his the same chipset (Asmedia 1061) that the motherboard have already
So, i am looking for a motherboard (and processor) with 8 sata ports, and a low power consumption ( like i have already, can be less than 40w/hour)
My choice stopped for the moment on a ASUS A88X-M plus (fm2+), i am not sure of what processor i should take with it...
It is a good idea or should i change my mind for something better?
Thank you
Regards,
Mike.
