Hi All.
I have looked up two commercial grade servers. I have listed them below. What would you suggest? Im leaning towards the Haswell build. Im not sure if the units have the correct port speeds and type.
I have also seen mention on a video that only the commercial freenas boxes support hot standby drives and ssd cache. Is this correct?
I have the hard drives (WD Red's) Here are the two servers..... I think the second server is better value.
As always any help or advice is appreciated.
Thanks
