Hi guys, good morning, hope everything is going well over here,i have a doubt or well i am in a doubt and if anyone would help me to resolve it I would appreciate much.
For a ESXi server which of these cards would you select and why?, I have this idea, i looking forward to make a lab machine, and in a future a backup machine too, so i can have in the same machine a VM for Windows/Linux/Solaris, etc. for example and a FressNas in other (to store some Snapshot), It just for testing purposes.
I looking more for the X9SRH-7TF, because it has a Dual port 10GBase-T, that could be useful in the future, and a 8x SAS2 where it supported by the backplane that I have, where the X10SRH-CF has 8x SAS3 supported by the backplane too but looks like its not recommended by FreeNas because some issues, right? (correct me if I am wrong), the other aspect its that the X10SRH can support the newer CPU generation while the X9SRH can´t, the same go to the memory slots (DDR3 vs DDR4)
So guys again, which of these cards would you select and why?, based on what I comment here. Thanks for you time and read me guys.
TL;DR between a supermicro X9SRH-7TF and a X10SRH-CF which one would you select for a ESXi server, that can run some FreeNas instance to store some Snapshot, and do some experiments in other VM instances.
Edit. add the link for each mobo
