G3258 Compatibility
G3258 Compatibility
I once owned an Intel Pentium G3258 that sat idle since switching from FreeNAS to Rockstor. Now I'm considering returning to FreeNAS but need a motherboard with ECC RAM support. The G3258 does work with ECC, and I found a Supermicro board on eBay that caught my eye. It seems compatible with 4th-gen Haswell chips, though I wanted to verify further before proceeding. Based on the links I found, it looks like this configuration could function, but I might need to update the BIOS to ensure success. The board’s 10GB NIC is impressive, and while the G3258 won’t fully leverage the speed boost, my SATA drives are already slow enough that upgrading later makes sense if I add SSDs in FreeNAS. Thanks for your advice!
