Hey guys,
I’m planning on building my first FreeNAS sever. So I would like to have some thoughts about my planned configuration.
First of all I would like to start with what I’ve got:
Drobo B800FS (Raid 6)
- 6 * 4TB WD Red HDD’s
- 2 * 3TB Seagate Baraccuda HDD’s
Drobo 5N (Raid 5)
- 5 * 3TB Seagate Baraccuda HDD’s
1 Cloud Server
- 16GB RAM
- i7-6700T
- 2 * 400GB old Sata drives (Seagate) (Raid 1)
many PC, tablets and laptops which would like to have access to my data.
Both Drobo’s store personal files, movies, photos, backups, programs (iso’s and exe), documents, etc.
What I would like to do:
Replace the 2 Drobo’s with one FreeNAS server. It should be capable for 3-4 1080p streams in my home network, maybe some 4K streams in the near future and while doing so still be able to access my personal data. If possible I would like to have a share for my cloud aswell. So that my cloud server is having it’s data stored on the FreeNAS.
For the FreeNAS server I would like to go with HDD arrays of 8 drives in ZFS 2. No spare drives...
One big pool with x * 8-drive-arrays and all shares like movies, tv-shows, picture, data, etc. are stored on the big pool.
So in the beginning I have to buy 1 more 3TB drive to complete the 8 drives 3TB array.
And 2 4TB drives to complete the 8 drives 4TB array.
This would give me this configuration:
8*4TB - ZFS 2
Space = (8-2)*4TB*0,931
Space = 22,344TB
8*3TB - ZFS 2
Space = (8-2)*3TB*0,931
Space = 16,758TB
Total = 39,102TB
I read that FreeNAS needs 1GB Ram for 1TB of Storage.
One question here: do I need 39GB RAM, 42GB RAM (without the 0,931 factor) or 56GB RAM (8x[3TB+4TB]).
The next future upgrade would be the investment of the next HDD-array with 8*4TB WD Red
Which would give me a total of 61,446TB.
In the end I would like to be able to add another 24 HDD’s (Total 48+), that the reason for my following hardware configuration.
Hardware:
Supermicro X10SRL-F
8 ECC RAM slots
7 PCIe slots
10 SATA ports
http://www.supermicro.nl/products/motherboard/xeon/c600/x10srl-f.cfm

32GB DDR4 PC2133 ECC Registered CL15 Samsung
Can I start with only one RAM stick installed, or do I need to have at least two installed?

24 HDD’s:
W_peak = 24*1,75A*12V = 504W
W_idle = 24*3,3W = 79,2W
W_R/W = 24*4,5W = 108W
W_motherboard = 50W (I haven’t found some numbers)
W_ram = 8x5W = 40W (Same here…)
W_Xeon = 140W (TDP as „guess number“)
W_HBA = 2*10W = 20W
W_peak= 504W + 50W + 40W + 140W + 20W = 754W
For the 48 HDD configuration I would simply install another Seasonic X-850W
HBA:
IBM ServeRaid M1015 - is this a fake one? How can I detect a fake one?

Intel RES2SV240 24 Port - can I also go with one like this? I know you guys recommend the M1015 but I read that some people use the 24 Port for bigger configurations.

Questions:
So what do you guys think about my configuration?
Will it handle my planned load?
How big is the reverse? (circa...)
What amount of RAM do I need? (see "full" question in the text above)
Can I start with only one RAM stick? (again in the text above^^)
Would you still recommend the M1015?
Will it work with my planned "one big pool and the x * 8-drive-arrays"-system?
I don't need spare drives, do I?
Thank you for your help,
Alex
