I plan to do TrueNAS SCALE because I'm more familiar with Linux and I heard their new feature development is more focused on SCALE, plus motherboards with Intel ethernet NICs are hard to find.

I plan to have RAIDz2 (2 parity disks), and possibly expand to 6x4TB in the future (RAIDz-vdev expansion is expected by the end of this year). The other disks will have to go on a PCIe HBA. The Optane drive will be in the CPU's M.2 slot for L2ARC.

I don't have a well-isolated place to put this, so I'm aiming for quieter parts.

The motherboard selection is limited to Gigabyte and ASRock because they explicitly list support for ECC UDIMMs.

As for RAM, I'm going to be running Plex and other servers, and try hosting a VM or two, though my LAN is only 1 gigabit.

The 5700X will actually go into my gaming computer, and the 3600X from there will go to the NAS.
