Hello, i’ve been reading the forums and documentation for the past few months and i figured o ask the forum for the build im planning.
I already have a seperate server for backup & cold storage.
I run a small editing studio with 2 other editors and we’re planning to upgrade our network to 10gbe in the next month. The reason is mainly because we want a centralized location for all of our video data.
We’re all running windows 10.
Requirements:
No transcoding.
Ipmi is nice to have but not essential as the server room will be next to our editing bay.
I live in indonesia and here used server parts are scarce. But i found some good deals on 1st gen epyc and 1st gen threadripper cpu.
Boot media will be 2x128 kingston ssd.
Chelsio/intel 10gbe nic
LSI HBA card
Drives are 16 x 4tb segate ironwolf in a stripped mirror (raid 10)
128gb ecc ram
500gb L2arc
Im thinking of doing either this build:
Option 1
AMD Threadripper 1950x
Gigabyte x399 aorus pro
$600
Option 2
Intel Xeon e5-2667 v3
Supermicro X10DRH-I LGA2011
$460
From what i read in this forum, for SMB people seems to be recommending higher clock cpu over cores, thus the threadripper. The treadripper also seems to be more energy efficient on paper.
I need a sanity check, are these builds enough is it build overkill for my needs? Will i be better served with some intel i3 or xeon e3?
Thank you so much in advance. Cant wait to delve deeper into truenas :)

Requirements:
- Streaming speed of 500mbp/s
- 2-3 people hitting the server at the same time
- Server will be running for around 12 hours a day. (Basically only when we’re working)
- Planning to run Truenas Scale
- 1 VM running with 4 cores & 4gb Ram.
No transcoding.
