Hello,
I want to build new FreeNAS storage. The box have to be multipropose box. It will provide SAMBA, NFS, iSCSI as main services, and KVM virtualization to separate additional services from the main box (I know what, FreeNAS provide KVM support). The KVM services will be related to DC, DNS, DHCP, NTP and so on.
So I want to use some benefits like KVM over IP, (I'm fan of Intel AMT, Supermicro), Wake on LAN.. all about remote management.
Also the NVMe disks will be used to store the main operating systems and act as a cache of the RAIDZ volume.
I haven't deep understanding in hardware related topics, but for this type of setup I think to use some vPRO cpu by Intel, because of AMT, much RAM - because of ZFS cache, and good cooling - because of less noise ;>
For now I only choose the case, here is it: Fractal Design - Node 804. At the beginning I will start with small 4x4TB HDD on 7.200RPMs and two NVMe disks for OS.
I think 64 GB is enough for the moment, but please keep in mind to be able to extend it if it's needed. I know that ZFS is memory hungry, so please suggest me mainboard with enough slots and much supported RAM limit.
Thanks a lot!
