Hi everyone,
Was wondering if i could get your advice on my setup. I'm in the beginning phase of choosing parts for a home media server which, so far, is primarily going to be used for serving 4k video content to a couple rooms and backups for all the comps.
Right now I serve content through SMB to my media players but I would like to keep the option open for Plex or anything else. I would want the machine to be powerful enough in case I decide to add a VM or two.
I dont want the case to have a big footprint and I think this one is pretty good
I was wondering what mini-itx board to get with this. I looked at some threads and some people were recommending motherboards with chips built in. Would this one be suitable:
ASRock J3455-ITX .... Or if i get a normal ITX like this one: ASUS Intel LGA1151 H110.. what processor would you guys recommend?
For HDD, Ill start with three WD RED 10TB and have a software raid 5. Will add HDDs as time goes on. And if there arent enough SATA ports, I could get a pci-e card. RAM will depend on Motherboard I guess.
Budget is not that big an issue (within reason). Anyway I'll take any recommendations you guys have. Thanks for your help!
