Hello,
I am in a stage of building my first server for home use purpouses:
Mobo: X10SL7-F
Chip: E3-1231 V3
RAM: 2 x Crucial 8gb CT102472BD160B
HDs: 4x WD RED 4TB 3.5 (connected to SAS) / 1x SATA DOM SSD-DM032-SMCMVN1 (connected to SATA 3), 2x Kingston SSD-SA400S37 / 120G (one to the SATA 3, one to the SATA 2)
My main concern at the moment is about mobo compatibility with WD RED drives, because I do not see them listed on supermicro webpage in tested drives list. It has only WD drives up to 2 TB. Will my mobo work with the drives?
I plan to install FreeNAS as a VM on ESXI 6.5 and passthrough the onboard LSI controller with the WD drives connected, SATA DOM drive will be used to hold FreeNAS, one dedicated SSD for PLEX library on Windows 10 VM, and second SSD for some linux VMs.
Will it work that way?
Thank you in advance.
Best regards.
