Hi everybody,
I´m about to make a new build for my homelab.
Right now i´ve got a "all in one " solution with FreeNAS on ESXi. This works fine for me, but i´d like to go a little bit more "advanced" now.
The hardware (or most of it) ist already here:
Intel Xeon E5 2620 V3
Asus Z10PA-D8
64GB DDR4 ECC RAM
4x Intel DC S3700 800 PCIe NVMe SSDs
4x 4TB WD Red
2x Samsung 850pro 256GB (for FreeNAS installation)
HP Ethernet 560-SFP+ 10G (should work so far, otherwise i will look for a used celsio)
Fujitsu Case with 470W redundant psu
My plan is to make an RAID10 with the four Intel ssds and share it with NFS to my ESXi host as vm storage.
The servers are connectet over 10G Ethernet.
From my understanding this would be the best solution (for performance) with the four ssds. But i´m not sure if maybe a different configuration with an SLOG device would be the better option.
Here i´ll be very happy for some advice/ inputs for the configuration.
The WD Reds are for personal data and the performance is not so important right now.
kind regards
Felix
