Good Morning Folks,
I'm drinking my coffee and have been brainstorming a FreeNAS solution with some hardware I got from work when they transitioned to some new compute and a nimble array.
3-4 Dell PowerEdge 2950 and 2950 Gen II's (they have some good 10G NICs but otherwise pretty old)
2x Dell r720's one of them is a r720xd LFF
A mixed bag of Dell PowerVaults MD1200's to MD3600's.
How do I turn the Dell r720 with two MD3600's attached as DAS into a FreeNAS box.
Specs for the Dell r720xd
CPU: Dual E5-2650 v2
Memory: 128GB (8 x 8GB)
PowerEdge RAID Controller: PERC H710
HDDs: 12x 300GB (Going to replace these)
What HBA's, cable adapters and luck do I need for this project?
Thanks!
