Hey guys,
i need to build a cost efficient storage server because i need to move around 30TB (real 27TB) of data from our production storage for backup purposes.
As performance isn`t much of a concern for this kind of backup machine, i have a few things in mind and would like to know your opinion about it:
I would like to make it a S1151 build but i will pick some 1150 components for comparison:
Here is my current hardware selection, with a few questions afterwards:
S1151 build:
- Pentium G4400
- Supermicro X11SSH-CTF (little bit of an overkill but future proof choice)
(alternatively: Supermicro X11SSM-F and installing FreeNAS to a SLC-USB stick)
- 32GB ECC RAM
- 4x Seagate IronWolf NAS HDD 10TB (ST10000VN0004)
- Seasonic G550 550W PSU
- Some tower that can fit at least 8x3,5"
The plan is to build a RAIDZ vdev that gives me the round about 25-27TB of usable storage i need. There should be enough headroom to build another RAIDZ vdev for an additional ~25TB of usable storage.
All the data on this backup machine will also be backed up to LTO5 tapes.
SS1150 build:
- Pentium G3220
- Supermicro X10SL7-F
- 32GB ECC-RAM
- 4x Seagate IronWolf NAS HDD 10TB (ST10000VN0004)
- Seasonic G550 550W PSU
- Some tower that can fit at least 8x3,5"
Same thing as with the S1151 build. I will start with a RAIDZ pool consiting of 4 drives where i can use ~25TB of data. In the near future i would like to add another 4 drives to my pool.
Anything i am missing right now, any huge mistakes?
A few questions if you don`t mind:
Is the X11SSH-CTF fully compatible to the latest FreeNAS version. There were some rumors in late 2016 that the board isn`t fully compatible, whats the "status quo" on this one?
Can i change the LSI SAS 3008 easily to HBA/IT mode easily? Will the PSU suffice for 8 drives overall?
Thanks for all your help and opinions, i appreciate it very much. :)
