Hi all
I have been following this forum for a couple of months. I am looking to build a storage server for VM storage. Just 2 VMs intially. Up to 10 VM later on.
Below are the specs that I have pieced together.
Chassis - 216E16-R1200LPB
MB - X10SRi-F
HBA - AOC-S2308L-L8e
CPU - E5-1620 v3
Memory - 2 X 16GB
SSD - 2 X 32GB SuperDOM for Boot
SSD - 2 X Intel SSD DC S3710 200GB for SLOG
HDD - 4 X WDC RED 1TB for zpool mirrored
Anyone have experience with this chassis? Back-plane is BPN-SAS2-216EL1. Does the back-plane works properly with SMART? Understand SAS3 is not working stablely with FreeNAS.
Since this server has 8 DIMM slots. I can add more later as need arises. Also for HDD, start with 4 initially then slowly adding drives as requirement increases. Is it feasible to create a 22 drive mirrored zpool?
Thank you for looking through this build. Let me know your comments.
