Hi
I am looking to build a new home server for ZFS and a number of VMs.
The idea is to build a system using:
- 2 * HGST HE8 6TB disks for media storage etc (already available)
- 2 (available) SATA SSDs (Crucial M500)
- 1 * optane 800p for SLOG
- 2 * NVME disks for the VMs and some home space accessed over NFS.
- 64 GB Memory.
- 10 Gb ethernet, either on-board or re-using a Mellanox ConnectX-3.
I first considered the Asrock Rack X470D4U, but that would be pretty tight with no room for expansion.
I then saw the upcoming Asrock rack X399D8A-2T as that gives me pretty much all I need, when I add a 4*NVME carrier or some single NVME adapters. Processor TR 1920X
I am now also considering an Epyc 7282 on a Supermicro H11SS-I board. I am not sure how bad the performance impact of using only 4 banks (of 16GB) memory would be on Epyc Rome. Does anybody know?
I am also looking for the idle power consumption figures for these options. It seems pretty difficult to find any figures (or my Google foo is lacking).
Does anybody have an idea what idle consumption to expect for:
- Threadripper 2920X on an X399 board
- Epyc 7282 on Supermicro H11SS-I
Thanks in advance!
