Thanks in advance for any input!
I'm a huge fan of FreeNAS and currently run two different self-built systems for my own personal use. I've now got the green light to repurpose a storage server at work that was previously running Windows to be our new storage platform in a datacenter environment.
Comparing the following list to the official hardware requirements, I think it should be all good to go with FreeNAS, but I thought it'd also be good to get a sanity check from the community:
Chassis: Supermicro Supermicro 6028R-E1CR24L
Motherboard: Supermicro X10DSC+
Storage Controller: Supermicro AOM-S3008M-L8 - (Broadcom 3008 8-port PCI-E SAS-3 controller in IT Mode)
PSUs: 2x redundant Supermicro PWS-1K62A-1R
CPU: 2x Intel Xeon E5-2620v4 2.10GHz
RAM: ECC, 64GB total, 4x Micron MTA18ASF2G72PZ-2G3B1
Boot device: 2x Micron M510DC 240GB (Link is for a 960gb model, couldn't find 240's available anymore)
Storage drives: 12x 8TB HGST Ultrastar He8 HUH728080ALE604 (0F23668)
**Other SSD: 2x Samsung PM863 960gb
**These were previously a write cache. I haven't yet determined what the best use for these will be, but they're free for whatever I may choose to do with them.
Looking forward to getting this up and running, thanks again for your input!
