I'm going to be pulling the trigger on an HP ProLiant DL390 Gen9 with these specs for around $1000 shipped.
- 12 LFF bays.
- 2x 14-core E-2680V4 2.4 GHz
- 64 GB RAM (probably going to up this to 128 GB RAM).
- HP P840 4G (do I need to replace this with a different card?)
- 6x 3TB SAS
Is this powerful and power efficient enough to run for at least 5 years? The price looks like a decent deal or am I wrong?
This will be replacing two machines I currently have, which are:
- Supermicro SYS5018D-MF with i3-4160 32 GB RAM. This is currently running TrueNAS CORE baremetal.
- Old consumer-grade desktop running an i3-3220T with 16 GB RAM. This machine is my Proxmox hypervisor. Currently runs OPNsense, a FreeBSD, and a Debian VM's. I'd like to run more, but it just doesn't have enough RAM for it. It's pretty rock solid as a router though.
