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

    In my (admittedly) limited experience with ZFS, it utilizes more RAM than CPU except for scrubs.

    If you’re wondering about the downvotes, I got brigaded by PRC simps. Lemmy doesn’t yet have the protection against this that Reddit had.
