Hi All,
I'm currently considering a build for a NAS based on Windows 2012 R2 Server .
Initially I wanted to implement Windows 2012 R2 Storage Server. But it turns out that it's only a version of Windows 2012 R2 Server reserved for OEM only and no different.
I was pretty much interrested in using an avoton or rangeley cpu as a C2750 or C2758 (but I'm really missing the point in the difference beetween the wo of them) with 16 or 32 GB of RAM
I probably would add two 256GB SSDs and 3x 3TB Seagate surveillance spinning disk + 3x 3WD Red
Plus one 128GB SSD for OS
My goal : Manage all private datas such as Photos (tons of them, actually I'm a serial shooter), music and movies (less of them).
Install Plex Server, but no need for transcoding as I already have two WD live box
Hosts around 10-12 vmdks using iSCSI. For test purposes only totaling around 1TB of space
My questions :
Does this configuration make sense ?
Would Windows 2012 R2 Server take advantage of this configuration ?
How many watts can I expect to consume at idle and at full load ?
Did anyone try something approaching this and can provide feedback ?
Many thx for your time and considerations
