N3 Off-site Backup Build

So I completed my main server (define 7 xl, Asus w680, 128gb ddr5 ecc) but now I’m looking to build an off-site backup. I plan to use the Jonsbo N3 with all noctua fans and 5 exos 18tb drives. I’ll either use a raidz2 or raidz3 and expand it to 8 drives over time.

I have always used Intel for every build but Amd with ecc ram looks pretty interesting. So I’m looking for an AMD itx mb and CPU suggestions. Ipmi isn’t needed since the off-site location is close by. I would prefer to run 64gb of ecc ram and will get an hba to run the backplane. A 2.5gb nic would be preferred because my local ISP offers it. I would also prefer something with integrated graphics just in case it gets repurposed in the future. Thank you!

I don’t have any suggestions for a MiniITX board… other than ASRock, (and the server side ASRack), has a selection of AMD boards with ECC support.

From what I can tell, most of the AMD AM5 processors have either light weight GPUs, or integrated more capable GPUs. However, the Non-Pro 8000G series, (with the more capable GPUs), don’t include ECC.

Is anyone using the ryzen 5 7600 for truenas?

Something like this for offsite backup can’t be enough?

Should cover all your need with a cheap price
