I’m thinking about maybe upgrading my 2016 system. This is what I’m running today:
CPU: intel xeon E3 1220 v5
MB: supermicro x11ssm-f
RAM: 32GB Samsung ddr4 2133MHz ecc
Disks: 6x 6TB wd red nas disks configured in raidz2
Case: fractal design R5
Psu: silverstone st55f-g
Boot: Samsung 16gb sata dom
Gpu: quadro p400
10GbE: mellanox connect-x3
I’m running TrueNAS scale and the system is used for personal file storage and as a Plex media server (currently 5 users including myself). I'm running 13 docker applications at the moment including photoprism.
I want to be able to experiment with VMs and maybe run a minecraft server.
I have been looking at different xeons and supermicro boards. But there is a lot to choose from so I'm hoping someone can guide me in the right direction. I was looking at the xeon E-2286G after reading this test. Could this be a reasonable upgrade? I'm thinking to double RAM capacity to 64GB. The disks and case will be reused. PSU will be swapped with a new Seasonic FOCUS GX 750W.
Currently I'm running my docker applications of the main pool. Would it be better to put them on SSDs? I see the new supermicro boards come with M.2 slots. I have a couple of 250GB samsung 840 lying around. If I get a supermicro board with 8 sata slots I could put the 6 disks for the pool and the two SSDs on there and then run the boot drive of the M.2 slot. Or would it be better to run the boot of of the sata ports and put the storage for the applications on the M.2 slot? I'm running photoprism and as I understand it its better to put that on faster storage.
The old system will be moved off-site and reused as a backup server using some old 3TB wd reds that I have.
