Hey all,
THANK YOU TO EVERYONE FOR THE FANTASTIC ADVICE SO FAR! Seriously, this community is awesome.
This is a follow up thread to my original thread (link). After much advice that was a great help and research (many thanks to Chris Moore's parts list which I borrowed from heavily), I've shifted from primarily new hardware to primarily used server hardware that will net me around $500 in cost savings and significantly higher CPU performance compared to the original BOM.
I'd appreciate a quick once-over to make sure I didn't screw anything up in the parts list. Especially in the Mobo-RAM-CPU department.
Just to reiterate from the old thread, this is the design intent of the server: This NAS is intended to serve two functions: file serving to both windows and linux users and transcoding of up to 2 simultaneous 1080p video streams via DLNA (which this processor, with a passmark of ~13k should be more than enough to handle).
Parts List:
Case: Fractal Design R5
Power Supply: EVGA SuperNova 550
CPU: INTEL XEON E5-2650V2
Cooler: Noctua NH-U9DX i4
Motherboard: Supermicro X9SRL-F
Memory: 2x Samsung 16GB ECC REG Server DDR3 1600MHz PC3-12800R RDIMM Registered Ram
HBA (and associated cabling): Dell H310 6Gbps SAS HBA
Boot Drive: 2x Intel 320 SSD 80GB (mirrored)
SLOG: Intel SSD DC S3610 200GB
Storage Array Drives: 4x WD Red 8TB
UPS: CyberPower CP1500AVRLCD
