Hi,
I'm looking to replace my old setup (Intel 3370k, 32GB ram) and get a new setup that can be used for both VMs and NAS.
Currently have and plan to re-use
- 8x 16TB
- 2x 512 GB SSD mirrored boot
- 1x X520-DA2
- 1x Fractal Design 7XL
Currently have and can chose to not use or buy more of
- 1x LSI 9200-8i
Currently plan to get:
- PRIME PX-1000 (18 drives * 30W * 1.2 overage ~ 648 W just on drives)
- 2x 2TB NVME
I would like an AMD 5950x and want 128GB of ECC ram. I didn't think the EPYC 7313p was worth it, but open to other ideas. I will be expanding with 10 more 16TB drives (making 18x 16tb total). I already have an OOB setup (pikvm) that works well enough.
I am having trouble selecting actual specific parts to buy.
- Which motherboard should I get?
- Which specific ram to get?
- I will need at least one more HBA should I get a -16i, or do 2x 8 ports? And which one SAS2 or SAS 3?
