Ideally you should run ddr4 so you aren't leaving performance on the table
I was limited by the processor and some existing ram which basically dictated my purchases to save money.
You're completely right though, a more modern system would be similar in price and more capable.
I blew my budget on drives and a hot swap case. The rest is easy to upgrade when the time comes.
Then why did you go SAS? Sata would've been a lot cheaper
They are sata drives.
Seagate Exos X16. 6 of them refurb is still $800.
The case is hot swap with just an hba connection so I can let zfs do it's thing.
