Hi
As I'm one of those Asrock hosed guys with a board that is probably soon gonna hit the dust, I decided to plan a new system.
The Hardware supply is a bit limited here in switzerland, especially supermicro stuff is hard to get, so I may have not choosen the optimal parts.
- Case
Supermicro 825TQ-R720LPB
- Mainboard
Supermicro X11SSH-CTF: LGA1151, E5-1200v5 ( 8x Sata onboard, 8xSAS3 LSI3008, 2x10G 10base-T )
- Ram
Crucial CT4K16G4WFD824A (4x, 16GB, DDR4-2400, DIMM 288)
- CPU
Intel Xeon E3-1245 V5 (LGA 1151, 3.50GHz)
-Disk
8x 6TB WD Red ( already existing )
My thoughts about this setup:
The board offers 10 Gig Ethernet for future connectivity upgrade and an LSI3008 SAS controller with 8 Ports. That allows me to use my existing disks with the option of additional SSD's for L2ARC
The ram is compatible on the crucial homepage, I've chosen 64GB because the current 32GB seems to be quite on the edge, my ARC Hit rate is at about 50%
The case is basically what's available here for a reasonable price. The backplane is not sas3 compatible but I don't need that performance for 8 magnetic discs.
I'm grateful for any thoughts or warnings if something doesn't match up.
