Currently, the home setup is as follows
2 x DL380 G9, 2697 V3, 512GB Ram
2 x Intel Nuc ( always on hosts )
The function of the TrueNAS box will be to move some/all of the local storage from the DL380 G9 hosts to Shared Storage and to move my Network Attached Storage away from my QNAP. My idea was to build a box that would fulfill both of these.
The internal Network is 10GB via SFP+ and some TGBe. DAC is what's used apart from a few fiber runs to the office.
Regardless All of the hosts above run inside a Netshelter CX Rack where the new Supermicro chassis will be going. I'm really just looking for a sanity check to make sure I'm not making any huge mistakes on the below config.
What I've purchased so far
Supermciro CSE-829U with the X10DRU-i+ Mobo
CPU X 2: 2630 V4
RAM: 128GB DDR4 2133 ECC ( 4 x 32GB )
HBA: LSI 9400-16i SAS/SATA/NVME U.2 ( Already in IT Mode )
Boot: Intell SSD's connected to the onboard SATA connectors in a mirror
What I have still to Purchase
Disks:
I don't really have a preference for disks, However, around 40TB of total storage would be the goal. Whether that is 6x10TB in Z2 etc. room for expansion would be an advantage too. oh and cost, so I don't mind getting refurbished drives and just grabbing a few extra to sit of the shelf
read write Cache:
2 X Optane 280GB 900p u.2. These can be sourced on eBay for around the £150 mark for the u.2 SAS versions so a pair of these would utilize the 2 spare mini SAS connectors from the HBA
Thanks in advance for checking the post out.
