Any comment about using an Intel celeron g530(dual core) or g460(single core HT) for a home build nas/microserver using freenas? May ps3 media server for freenas to play mkv though the ps3

Would have initially went for an atom, except that boards with 4 or more sata ports are difficult to find. The G460 is a 35w tdp but operational load makes it hover around 20w, just slightly more than a synology unit of 17w max load.

This thing is rare. Checked out the garage sales but doesnt seem like a lot of people carrying it.

For the ps3, I will need the PS3 media server package for freenas so that the nas processor will do the job before streaming to the ps3.

Getting the fractal array and a simple mini itx to do the job. The case it expensive but it works . The rest of the parts are not really expensive.

You may need an expansion card for more sata ports on an atom platform. I seen some atom platfroms with 6 sata ports, but is sold on amazon/newegg. Cant seem to find them locally.
