Build check
Helmonder:
I am thinking about a new unraid build, moving my drives from the old to the setup.
As far as I can find the below is an energy efficient setup with enough horsepower to run unraid and plugins as well as beiing pretty quiet:
CASE: Fractal Design Define XL USB 3.0 Black Pearl
4in1: SuperMicro Mobile Rack CSE-M14T
BOARD: Supermicro X7SPA-HF-D525
MEM: Kingston KVR1333D3E9SK2/8G
CACHEDRIVE: SSD Samsung 830 series 256GB Basic KIT
FLASHDRIVE: Kingston MobileLite G2
The case will hold my current drives in its internal bays, expansion would need to be in a 5in3 (sofar I have a 16tb setup with 45% used so I am not -that- worried about extensions beyond the case within a few years).
Any comments and/or ideas are welcome !

I would suggest going with an bit beefier CPU such as an Intel i3/i5 series. They get similar idle power consumption to that ATOM CPU yet they offer exponentially more power should you need it.

What would you suggest specifically ?
I did some google'ing and while it is preyy easy to find that Atom is regarded as low in power use it is kind of hard to find some place that compares them against each other..

The x9scm or newer. But that adds about $100 to your cost. But some say will consume similar power at low use and idle and give you lots of "Horse Power" when needed.

Also. I wouldn't waste your money on a ssd for cache as any 7200 rpm drive will saturate a Gigabit network with ease.
