I'm considering to buy new motherboard/CPU for my home server for use with ZFS. Requirements:
- low power consumption
- min 4 SATAII + 1 PATA (more = better)
- WoL support (even if the power was disconnected and connected again)
- memory ECC support
- low end video onboard
- freebsd / opensolaris compatibility
not important at all:
- performance
- HDMI stuff
From CPU point of view I'm between Intel E7200 and AMD 4850e.. both have low power consumption, however, it seems line e7200 can be more efficient. Can anybody recommend a good combo to me?
