@IamSpartacus - Kinda why i went the path of the Dell VRTX, huge it maybe but man is it quiet for the workloads i put on it and i get the benefit of all the cores i have in it.
downside put a PCIe card in that thing and things get louder and sadly cannot control it. Tried vSAN with dual NVME PCIes and gave up due to added noise, but right now the way its running its somewhere around 35/40 db with 2 blades in with dual E5-V2 10Core setups and 256GB Ram each.
Just bought a bunch of those 3.2TB Micron SSDs threw that in there with the Shared PERC way and i mean WAYYYY faster than vSAN on Dual NVME
when it comes to transcode and all the goodies just works Cost higher but endgame does what i need it to do
