So I'm looking to build a linux file server with software raid. The end goal would be to have it be able to support maybe 10x2TB drives in raid 6 + another drive for the OS. This computer would not be expected to do anything other than sit and keep my files to stream to the other computers around the house.
This is what I've picked out so far.
Processor: Intel Pentium G620 Sandy Bridge 2.6GHz LGA 1155 65W Dual-Core ($75)
Motherboard: ASUS P8B-E/4L ($250) I could then get a Asus Pike Card ($120) for the rest of my sata ports.
Memory: Crucial 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM ECC Unbuffered DDR3 1333 ($120) I could then get 8 more down the road if necessary.
OS Drive: Seagate Barracuda 250GB 7200 RPM ($37)
Raid Drives: 7xHITACHI Deskstar 5K3000 2tb ($400) + 3x2tb Samsung Drives I already have.
PSU: CORSAIR Builder Series CX600 V2 600W Is this enough power? Too Much?
Case: 3xExternal 5.25" 1xExternal 3.5" 9xInternal 3.5" bays I really don't care what kind of case I have (rackmount or tower) as long as it will fit everything I need inside.
I am in no way attached to any of these parts, I've gone through many iterations of this (some intel some amd) and figured it was finally time to post and get a critique.
Anyways thanks for the help in advance.
