Hi
I picked up this unit today and wondering if this will work with Freenas (this Freenas will be a backup for replications from the main unit)
I am thinking to install it under ESXI or Proxmox
Configuration:
128 GB Ram DDR4 ECC
2 x Intel Xeon E5-2630 v3
12x3.5" HDD caddies/tray
2 x 2.5" hdd caddies (in the back)
looking to purchase a caddie kit for the 4 internal units that can be added too.
no hdds yet
have a few question and hopefully will find some help here:
1. will the H730 mini work with this? Should I set it up in a certain way? I googled and saw that it does not need to be flashed to it mode since it can pass-through access to the drives
2. proxmox vs esxi? will one be supported better for freenas
3. if purchase another network card for the server, will it makes sense to install pfsense as a VM here as well to secure my home network?
any feedback will highly appreciated
