I was about to post in the Will it FreeNAS sub forum but noticed there are no recent posts there so I figure best to post here.
Recently I got myself a Huawei server and have since upgraded it. The current hardware specs are based on https://support.huawei.com/enterprise/en/intelligent-servers/RH2288H V3-pid-9901881 but with 12 SATA LFF drives in the front. 2 SFF SAS SSD in the back for OS.

- Motherboard is the BC11HGSA0 based on Intel C610 /X99
- CPU are 2 Intel Xeon E5-2683 v4
- RAM is 64GB ECC Kingston Server Memory: KSM26RD8/16HDI x 4. Ample slots to upgrade.
- HDD RAID BC61ESMQ LSI SAS 3108 on a Mezzanine card.
- NIC is Huawei SM231 based upon Intel 82599
- HDD's are currently split up in a 4 x 6TB 16TB RAID and additional drives in another 2 RAIDS for Misc. SMB share in Windows environment.
- RAID's will be disbanded and replaced with ZFS Storage Pools
- SMB share with some kind of backup (rsync?) to a NAS is a must but should not be any issues, aside from me not having done that before. Expect questions.
