Hi there
Am just about to push the order button on a new FreeNAS build.
This is my current part list:
-----
MOBO: http://www.supermicro.com/products/motherboard/Xeon/D/X10SDV-12C-TLN4F.cfm
CASE: https://www.supermicro.com.tw/products/chassis/tower/721/SC721TQ-250B
RAM: Kingston 32GB DDR4 2133 Reg ECC (x2)
STORAGE DRIVES: HGST 3.5in 26.1MM 6000GB 128MB 7200RPM SAS 512E ULTRA ISE (x4)
HBA: https://www.broadcom.com/products/storage/host-bus-adapters/sas-9211-8i

Please feel free to provide feedback with any of the above btw! (And the reason for the 12C Xeon was we are planning to run a lot of virtualized applications in the not too distant future)
What I need some advice with is regarding the best setup for running FreeNAS virtualized within a hypervisor such as ProxMox.
The above case/mobo has room for another two 2.5" drives so I was thinking of specifying a pair of mirrored SSDs potentially but I am a little unclear on what experienced users would recommend?
