I've built a number of servers using desktop components. I've been running one with 12 drives (4 in an external eSata enclosure) for Freenas for 2 years using recycled desktop components. I've become very dependent on it for shared storage, and it also runs a Crashplan and Transmission jail.
i'm thinking of building a high end (for home use) server using real server components like those recommended on this forum. I'd like something that can run reliably for 5+ years and allows for some room for growth over that time if needed. Here's the component list I came up with:
NORCO RPC-4224 4U Rackmount Server Case with 24 Hot-Swappable SATA/SAS Drive Bays
SUPERMICRO MBD-X10SRL-F Server Motherboard LGA 2011 R3
LSI LSI00244 (9201-16i) PCI-Express 2.0 x8 SATA / SAS Host Bus Adapter Card, Single Pack--Avago Technologies
iStarUSA WO22AB 22U 4 Post Open Frame Rack
SuperMicro PWS-920P-1R 920W high-efficiency (94%+) power supply with PMBus - OEM
Intel Xeon E5-2620 v2 Ivy Bridge-EP 2.1 GHz LGA 2011 80W BX80635E52620V2 Server Processor
Kingston 64GB (4 x 16GB) 288-Pin DDR4 SDRAM ECC Registered DDR4 2133 (PC4 17000) Server Memory Model KVR21R15D4K4/64
(12) Seagate NAS HDD ST6000VN0021 6TB 128MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive Bare Drive
SAMSUNG 850 EVO 2.5" 120GB SATA III 3-D Vertical Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) MZ-75E120B/AM
Any suggestions on changes?
