Hey all!
I am helping a friend start up a business of about 20ish people on a 10gig network. (We have all the networking switches and whatnot ready to go). This is an architectural company, and they work on Revit. Each Revit file is about 0.5 gb (of course they also use PDFs and Word docs, but those take up like no space). So I am planning on making a server with M.2s which the employees work directly off of. I will have 8 2tb M.2s, for a total of 16tb, running with ZFS RAIDZ2. So, in the past, the company was working on a Windows Server with HDDs, and had slow speeds most likely bottlenecked by the HDD speeds. Since the files aren't too large and we are only using this as a "live" server, I thought of using 64gb of ECC RAM, and a 16-core Xeon processor. If anyone here had any suggestions for me, please let me know!
Thank you!
