Alright, I'll bite!
Just finished my (re)build of my system.
Only thing I am missing now is a good UPS, and I'll be "done" (for now :p )
Whats the general average transfer rates of large files between systems with that setup?
I ran something very similar except all 1Gbe. 10Gbe is too expensive for my taste at this moment (I want external as well as internal). Eventually I got fed up with the setup and turned that box into a W2012R2 server using PFSense as a Hyper-V Guest, and using JBOD storage spaces.
The next project is 2 W2012R2 servers running scale out file servers w/ CSV + 2 VM servers. This setup will incorporate ONLY dual 10Gbe nics. 2 per each server tied into a 24 port 10Gbe netgear switch. (As much as I hate netgear, they are the cheapest I can find at this moment)
I also used all supermicro boards and enclosures.
I must say this as well, I received two of their newest hot off the press SAS3 enclosures and apparently their manufacturing process was not perfected (as of 2-3 months ago) and I had to work for hours with them to determine that their backplanes (on both units) short out on part of the enclosure causing the drives to act very erratic or not turn on at all. Other than their tech support being very...err....stupid to this particular problem leaving me to figure out the cause and fix. I must say they at least have good tech support. They don't put you on hold long and they actually have some Americans working in that dept.
I would still buy from them again even after that experience.
