I'm in the midst of designing a storage appliance to house client offsite backups which will replicate to one another bi-coastal (freenas replication). The files housed on the storage appliance would range in 10GB - 50GB in nature, typically no smaller and are 95% writes versus reads. There is likely a ingestion of 5 terabytes per day. There are no VM's connected to this storage its only for offsite backup targets and replication.
Here is the hardware I'm currently looking at:
Supermicro 5049P-E1CR45L
(1) Intel® Xeon® Gold 6128
(6) 32GB DDR4-2666 2Rx4 LP ECC REG DIMM - 192GB Total
(2) 120-200GB OS DISK
(42) 12TB SAS 7.2k
(2) 400-800GB SAS SSD - 10DWPD (SLOG - recommendations here)
Open to all suggestions on layout, currently not looking to use deduplication only compression. My only main requirement is around 300TB of usable storage space.
One of my design thoughts: Raid Z-1 w/5 Groups could be 7 disks with an 8th disk as parity.
Thanks for everyones input in advance.
