Hello FreeNAS community!
I am looking to build myself a server grade FreeNAS unit for home use and to tinker with some business/enterprise things on the side. I have plans to move in to the IT field in a few years and would like to play around with servers in the mean time.
I would like to post my build here for critique and recommendations. I already have two servers, a Dell PowerEdge 2950 Gen III running pfsense and an HP ProLiant DL380 G6 with Xenserver, to do most anything else I would want to mess with, so the FreeNAS server would likely be only for storage for home and VMs. I plan to have it store video media, personal use files, game/twitch streaming source video, backups for all devices, and surveillance footage in the future. Initially, I am going to start with a relatively low amount of storage in one vdev, then both add more vdevs to the zpool and expand older existing physical drives using autoexpand.
I think that covers the basic questions, so here what I have picked so far.
Chassis: Supermicro CSE-836TQ-R800B
Motherboard: Supermicro MBD-X10SRH-CLN4F-O
CPU: Intel Xeon E5-1620 v3 BX80644E51620V3
RAM: 1x Samsung 32G EEC LRDIMM MEM-DR432L-SL01-LR21
HDD: 4x WD Red 2TB drives (ZRAID2) WD20EFRX
Boot Drive: Supermicro 16GB DOM SSD-DM016-SMCMVN1
SLOG Drive: Supermicro 128GB DOM SSD-DM128-SMCMVN1 (not certain if I will add or not)
CPU cooler: Supermicro CPU cooler SNK-P0048AP4
Thanks for your time!
