Hi,
I am planning to buy a used server from Dell, PowerEdge R730xd with 24 x 1 TB disks (1TB 6G 7.2K 2.5" NLSAS) in the front, additionally 2 x 1 TB (same:1TB 6G 7.2K 2.5" NLSAS) in the back. In the server there is a H730P controller built in, which I believe is not first choice with Truenas (at least I got to this point with the research)
The server should be a storage device on one hand for virtualization data from proxmox (KVM guests) and on the other hand a CIFS-target in a windows network.
I would like to get some additional information, about what you guys think about the hardware (what recommendations for HBA controller, as the H730P is not first choice) and what setup for the drives?
Thanks in advance
