And the hard drives. And now that I think about it, my switch is plugged into the UPS too but it's an unmanaged switch with negligible draw.
If I stop most Dockers and I'm only running my pfsense VM which is on 4 core 4 gig RAM, the server is around 150w
I can't say I know enough about error correction RAM to say it's important to me or not. I do have it now however.
My current system has IPMI, but I never use it so not important.
I have my current unit rack mounted which would be preferred, but not deal breaker.
I don't care about noise, it...
I've been using this system since about 2016:
Dual Intel® Xeon® CPU E5-2670 0 @ 2.60GHz
Supermicro X9DRi-LN4+/X9DR3-LN4+ , Version REV:1.20A
64 GiB DDR3 Multi-bit ECC
It's worked quite well for my uses. Unraid OS running a couple of VMs, 10-20 dockers and some plugins.
Problem is, which...
Yeah, completely agree. What a difference from the older desktop I built. Especially with something like unRAID that allows for dockers and VMs, having a system like this is great.
I've thought of building my own rack. The more I hear about it like your post, the more I'm interested in doing so.
To emphasize the purpose of this post, I think it's important to highlight what @MiniKnight said. In summary, your mileage may vary.
That's why I like these guys. Customer...
Below is my shameless plug for MrRackables. I've seen too many poor experiences people have had with online resellers that I thought I'd share my positive one.
About 5 years ago I built my first unRAID system. At that time, I was primarily focused on having a system to safely store and serve...
I'm using unRAID OS which uses Xen hypervisor.
It looks like price difference will be about the cost of a single CPU motherboard. I can get 2x E5-2670 on an Intel motherboard for about the same price as a single Ryzen 7 1700 chip. Dual 2670 has a CPU Mark of 18334 whereas the Ryzen is at...
Surprisingly, pricing with Natex was the same if you were including the chasis or not.
Assuming your Plex statement about using a single machine for transcoding, I'd be restricted to 1 single node, which would still mean 2x E5645 CPUs. That's still going to be 12 cores, 24 threads. I would...
I've been pretty set on going with the dual E5-2670 route, and checking my options to see if I could find anything that made more sense than the Natex deal. My uses will be the following:
Media storage
1-2 simultaneous Plex transcodes
15+ dockers, mostly media related like couch potato...
I'm looking to run a Dual E5-2670 setup. I'll be upgrading my unRAID server.
My primary purposes will be to run 10-20 dockers, multiple simultaneous plex transcodes, as well as a few VMs, including Win10. I don't do any heavy gaming.
I'm having a hard time justifying not going with a natex...
Currently piecing together a new server which will be running two Xeon E5-2670 CPUs.
I'll be running unRAID, using as a NAS while running a few virtual machines and many dockers.
Under these circumstances, will there be a noticeable performance change between 64GB of DDR3 PC3-12800 and 64GB of...
