Hi all,
just got a deal for a new Supermicro 836BE1C-R1K03B at only 211 Euro. As you already know it has SAS3 expander and a couple of 1000W Titanium PSU.
Now I've to decide what to put inside for my new home server.
The primary purpose of this server will be: 1) reliable storage for important files, family photos and video, 2) download and upload jails, 3) short term storage for home videosurveillance and maybe for zoneminder 3) storage for external VM, 4) maybe some VM during development work (not sure if I will need that).
I don't need much storage space, Just now I'm using less than 3 TB for important files, and I think it can grow of some TB during the next 5 years. For surveillance files I need another couple of TB.
So, I'm thinking about raidZ2 of 6x4TB disks, and maybe a mirror of a couple ssd to serve VM.
This server will be placed at the basement or under roof depending on temperatures, and I would like to make it a low power server.
What will be your suggestion about motherboard and CPU that suits my needs and make a good use of this new case ?
