Current hardware:
SuperMicro 846E
X9DRI-F
2x Intel E5-2630L V2
64GB ECC REG
HP H220 IT Mode or LSI 9201-8i
Intel X550T2 Ethernet Converged Network Adapter
1 x 500GB Samsung SSD for OS
6 x HGST 6TB NAS
9 x Seagate IronWolf 6TB
2 x 10TB WD White label
5 x 8TB WD White label
4 x 250GB Samsung SSD
4 x 500GB Samsung SSD
2 x 1TB Intel 660p on PCIE adapter cards
1 x StarTech USB 3.1 x 2 card
Currently, I have a little over 30TB of data stored on a storage pool comprised of 14 x 6TB drives in a mirrored array. The NVMe drives are a mirrored array that I run the VM's off of and the 4 x 500GB SSDs + 6 WD White label drives make up a tiered storage pool, but aren't really utilized.
My main goal is to have an environment that is:
1. Storage of media (UHD movies, 4k video clips, photos, music, tv shows), documents, local desktop backups and games (Steam, Origin, etc).
2. Host 6 Windows VMs which are roughly 600GB total. Active Directory Domain Controllers, Web Servers, App Server and SQL Server.
3. Host Plex for streaming of files, no transcoding necessary, 3 streams at the most.
4. Fully utilize the 10Gbe interface with desktops on local network. Should be able to pull/push video for editing, UHD backups, pull down games, quick backups, etc.
5. Can sync with Google Drive.
Is there anything in the current hardware configuration that I should swap out?
What is the recommended drive usage? I know I have more drives than slots, but it's what I have available to leverage.
