I want to build a truenas server with the cheapest CPU I can find that can support ECC RAM: Celeron G4900T + 64gb ECC RAM + 4x18 TB SAS drives.
I don’t have experience with ZFS or with truenas (core or scale), how much important is the CPU?
Use case: hundreds of thousands of small files mostly under 1 mb, but just 2-3 concurrent users
ZFS tends to be more RAM intensive so make certain you have, at bare minimum around 16GB. But I would push for more.
