Hi Community,
I have been lurking around this forum for quite a while and I have been inspired to take the plunge and build a server. At present, I have a Synology 916+ and 412+ which primarly serve as file servers. I also have a couple of Intel NUC servers running docker and a few VM's. I have been plagued by many failures of WD Red HDD's and I have had enough of SATA drives.
My motivation is to switch over to SAS drives for much improved reliability and hopefully better performance. I have bought a Supermicro X11SSM-F and the parts below. I am currently stuck with the choices for RAM as I cannot make sense of the numerous gotcha's. I have seen some good deals on Ebay as I would like to max out my server to 64GB and hoping I could save some money. My choices are:
I also plan to introduce NVME Samsung 980 NVME to handle the VM's running on Truenas Scale I will install when all is built. Any inputs of how best to do this would be appreciated. I was thinking one drive would be enough with backups to the SAS drives.
I plan to use Noctua CPU cooler but still trying to also figure out which one will work with my CPU and case.
Thanks in advance to you all for your kind support. I appreciate it.
Motherboard: Supermicro X11SSM-F
CPU: INTEL XEON Quad 4 Core E3-1270 V5 4 x 3.6Ghz SR2LF LGA1151 / H4 CPU
PSU: Seasonic 750W Prime Platinum
HDD: 8 x Seagate (ST4000NM0023) 4TB SAS-2 (LFF) 6Gb/s 7.2K
RAID controller: Fujitsu Raid Controller D2607 - A21 SAS - SATA LSI SAS2008 Mega Raid 6G
CHASSIS: Fractal Node 804
NVME: TBD
RAM: TBD
CPU COOLER: TBD
