Hello Everyone,
I'm a somewhat new Freenas user outside of limited VM testing and sub-par hardware implementations, so I have not really gone all out with it. I been doing a lot of research.
however I'm kind of stuck at a point where I definitely need some third party opinions.I currently have the following hardware running some file services for VMware through iscsi
but I would really like to put everything on a new Norco RPC-3216 3U case with a redundant power supply:
4Core1600P35-WiFi+
http://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/4Core1600P35-WiFi+/
Intel Core2 Quad Processor Q6600
(8M Cache, 2.40 GHz, 1066 MHz FSB)
http://ark.intel.com/products/29765...cessor-Q6600-(8M-Cache-2_40-GHz-1066-MHz-FSB)
RocketRAID 2340
http://www.highpoint-tech.cn/USA/rr2340.htm
8 Gig Gskill DDR2 1066
4x 1TB Drives
6x 750Gig Drives
2x 300Gig 10k RPM Drives
This motherboard already has a failed NIC and appears to be limited to 16gigs of ram. At the moment I would like to have two or 3 GB nics
in LACP mode, while another NIC would be dedicated to management. Long story short, I'm considering a complete replacement of hardware with the following items:
Quad Server Intel NIC (PCI-E 2.0) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833106050
Intel S1200BTL ATX Server Motherboard LGA 1155 socket http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813121525
Intel Xeon E3-1225 Sandy Bridge 3.1 Ghz http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115088
Crucial 8Gb 240-Pin DDR3 1333 Memory http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820148436
I would leverage the RocketRaid card along with Hard drives and think about one or two SSD's for future expansion, but that is probably after I figure out what direction i shoot with hardware. I'd appreciate any comments and or recommendations.
