and for cpu and motherboard and memmory maby you have som recomendations. dose not have to be super stuff becuse its just gonna be my storage server and media storage. meby some game streming
This does not look like a starter system. If you will be investing this kind of money, in my opinion you should be doing a lot of research about compatability. I don’t know how many drives you plan to stuff into this system but it looks like you could store quite a bit.
If you are uncomfortable selecting hardware, you might want to purchase a completely assemble system from iXsystems. No, I don’t see any money on my end.
Have you defined how much storage and the amount of redundancy you need? This is just one of many key components when selecting hardware.
Did you realize that the chassis you selected will be very loud from the screaming fans ?
Take a serious look at how much storage you would like to have and how safe you want that data from drive failures. Do you want 50TB? 100TB? 1PB?
Myself, I have a huge ~10TB of which I actively use less than half of that capacity. Even if I filled up the 10TB, half my drives could fail and I would still have all my data.
While there are some very competent people here and will help you within reason. Don’t expect them to know about all compatability problems. We will provide what we can but at the end of the day, you are the one taking the risk.
Definitely good advice. Not only will they save quite a bit of money, you’ll get better hardware. I’m assuming OP is outside .us (due to the Aliexpress links), where that market is strongest, but still very much worth looking into.
Remember the HBA requires significant airflow to remain cool.
But for the price? Is my conversion incorrect? 979,00 € = USD $1,134.61 I’m assuming the comma is the decimal point, otherwise the comma would be 97,900, right?
Video editing storage can take up a lot of space. There have been a few folks who have visited here looking for editing video right on the server, not sure how successful they were, that is a lot of network bandwidth.
Oh, it’s quite a lot of capability for the price (and yes, your conversion is correct). But a four-socket, 64-core, 256 GB system as a NAS? Those Xeons burn a lot of watts…
I’ve got a slightly different system here from the same vendor at work as backup server. 4U, 36 LFF disks, two 2.5" boot drives, dual Xeons, 256Gb RAM, about 1200€ with rails. 32 of the 36 bays used… Very happy with that machine.
im looking at a cheap system that dose not consume alot of power and its just a storage server so it dose not have to be dual cpus and dont want that much heat in a system. the price is about 1500euro ± that i was thinkin spending on the nas
I can’t tell what your experience level is with ZFS so I am posting the following. You will have to consider your performance, storage expansion plans and decide on pool and VDEV layouts.
