Hi there,
I'm checking out a build that will be used as a storage server for our office (accessed mainly via NFS) to replace our current one as the main storage. I'm considering FreeNAS on SuperStorage 6049P-E1CR24L and would love to hear some thoughts about this build:
SuperStorage 6049P-E1CR24L: https://www.supermicro.com/en/products/system/4U/6049/SSG-6049P-E1CR24L.php
Other specs:
1x CPU: Intel Xeon Silver 4210
4x 32GB 2666MHz DDR4 ECC Reg CL19 DIMM 2Rx4 Micron E IDT
For OS: Intel® SSD D3-S4510 Series
HDD: 16x 12TB IronWolf Pro (leaving 8 slots empty for future growth).
Additional NIC for 10G SFP+ (any recommendations?)
Plan is to configure: 2 VDEVs of RAIDZ2 (8 disks in the group).
So.. will it FreeNAS? This model comes with Broadcom 3008 SAS3 AOC card, would I need to flash it or will it be good for FreeNAS out of the box?
Should I expect any non-standard installation / issues with this kind of hardware?
Thanks :)
