Its fine.
Best advice I can give you is start where you are with what you have.
What you need will become apparent as you do.
Comment on Building my first NAS: Assistance on part selection please
CatLikeLemming@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 months agoAh, sorry, I should’ve specified this further. Whether this can run what I need it to isn’t the primary concern, I believe it can do so, I primarily attached my decision making basis just in case it changes anything.
I’m more concerned about things like picking the correct drives, or if limiting my motherboard selection through an ITX case was a bad idea, or if my choice of not going with ECC was a poor one, those kinds of things.

I think you’re still OK.
There are lots of great itx boards out there, so basically take your pick. And there will be ppl who say you don’t need ecc, but it certainly won’t hurt, it will just cost a bunch more.
I run a supermicro mini itx with ecc, for my zfs backup, but my non ecc machines have also been fine.
