Hello
I’m building my first freenas server (used to use Debian and/or Synology)
What I want ultimately :
16 SATA HDDs in the ZFS equivalent of RAID10 accessible simultaneously by 7-8 1GbE clients (files, streaming, etc.).
What I already have :
- 16 SATA HDDs (all are 4TB)
- MB : Tyan S7012 with 2x Xeon 5560 and 36 GB of ECC RAM and 4x 1GbE
- a Dell 5524 switch (with 2x 10GbE SFP+)
What I plan on buying :
- 1x Chelsio T520-CR for 2x 10GbE SFP+ (less than USD100)
- 2x LSI SAS 9207-8i for handling the 16 drives. (less than USD40 each)
- Cables (10GbE and SAS-to-4-SATA splitters)
Will everything go smoothly ?
Do you have any recommendations ? advice ?
Should I add a SSD to boost performance ?
Thank you for your help
