Earlier I wanted to convert an Isilon server box but ran into some issues with the non-standard nature of the beast. I was encouraged to get a pure SuperMicro solution and have ordered one of these:
SuperMicro SC826E1-R800UB 12-bay (I am guessing this is the chassis, ad doesn't say)
SuperMicro SAS-826EL1 expander backplane
SuperMicro X8DTN+ with dual X5675 3.06gHz Xeons and 72GB of ECC RAM
SuperMicro AOC-SIMLP-3+ remote access card (not likely I will need it)
Adaptec 5405Z RAID Controller
I know from my previous research that I won't want to run RAID. I have already bought an LSI 9211-8i as the JBOD controller for the previous box.
Can I use the LSI controller with the SuperMicro and is that a doable configuration?
I also have a 120TB SSD which will be used for boot.
If in fact this server will work with FreeNAS, is there anything else I will need that I haven't thought of and will all this stuff play together? Thanks!
