We have a lot of family data strewn about in HD's (USB), so it is time to put everything in one place and have some HA (High Availability in probably two different arrays (will use one array comprised of 4 HD's and the other array will also be 4 HD's)
Please advise on the following build:
1) Supermicro Micro ATX DDR4 LGA 1151 Motherboards X11SSH-CTF-O
2) WD Red 6TB NAS Hard Drive - 5400 RPM Class, SATA 6 Gb/s, 64 MB Cache, 3.5" - WD60EFRX (8x)
3) Intel Xeon E3-1275 Processors BX80677E31275V6 (will do some transcoding and a couple of VM's)
4) Supermicro MEM-DR480L-CL02-EU24 8GB (1x8GB) DDR4 2400 (PC4 19200) ECC Unbuffered Memory RAM (8x of these to max out mobo)
5) & 6) & 7) Have PSU (gold) and Case enclosure. Also, have GTX 1080 Ti (although not sure about this) <-- olde build spare parts.
8) Do I need this for read speed or any regular SSD will do? FreeNAS Mini Read Cache (L2ARC) Upgrade.
9) Do I need this for write speed or any regular SSD will do? FreeNAS Mini Write Cache (ZIL) Upgrade
Any input would be greatly appreciated.
