I have a good offer for all of these three servers here locally. They are about the same price more or less, and by looking at the specs they also seem pretty tied. I already have 2 x 4TB Western Digital Reds ready to go into one of those servers. I plan to ditch whatever the servers already have connected to the SATA ports (hard drives, optical drives etc..) and replace them with the two REDs.
Please tell me which one should I go for:
1. FUJITSU PRIMERGY TX100 S3/LFF
Intel Xeon E3-1220v2 4C/4T 3.10GHz 8 MB
8GB (2x4GB) DDR3, un-buffered, ECC,1333MHz, PC3-10600,DIMM
DVD-RW super-multi 1.6" SATA
4-port SATA RAID 0/1/10, on-board
2x 1Gbit LAN on board
USB 9 ports (2x front, 6x rear, 1x internal for backup device)
Serial 1 x RS232
Standard Power Supply
No OS; 1 year warranty
2. HP ProLiant ML310e Gen8 v2
Intel Xeon E3-1220v3
Smart Array B120i
2x1Gb NICs
1x4GB(L) - Will add one more 4GB ECC
1x1TB SATA LFF NHP
DVD-RW
1x350W
3. IBM x3100 M4
Intel E3-1220v2 4C 3.10GHz, 8MB, mono socket
8GB (2 x 4GB) 1333 MHz DDR3 UDIMM
No HDD
ServeRAID C100, RAID 0,1,10, DVD-RW
6 x USB 2.0, 1 x VGA, 1 x Serial,
4 x PCIe (x16, x8, x4, x1)
2 x 1GBit Ethernet controller onboard
3 Year On-Site Service
So as I said they are all similar price-range, all have 4 DIMM slots, 4 sata bays for future upgrades. They use the same processor Xeon 1220v2 which I think fits nice. So I guess the only difference that will be the decider is the sata conroller compatibility, chipset compatibillity and how FreeNAS freindly they would be.
I most probably won't upgrade from 2 x 4TB any time soon. The second 4TB will be used as mirror for the first. This NAS will be used primarily for home use and some work related files backing up. Not anything bandwidth heavy except maybe some torrents running occasionally, not 24/7.
