I would not run FreeNAS in your case. It's exceptional at running large amounts of disks/data, but it's not really practical in your case. I'd say if you're planning on running 6 or less disks AND you don't have a need for a bunch of IOPS, you might as well go with Synology/Xpenology/Unraid...

How many VM's you trying to run ? Might wanna just build a cluster based on the results of Patrick's Corporate NUC project thing he's working on. For Plex, just get a machine with 8GB ram and Intel UHD630 graphics, you should be fine with a solid number of transcodes there.

Chiming in to say I got (4) at $130/ea. Seems to be the seller's bottom dollar for lowish quantities.

Thanks, I have a couple myself and when I was researching that was recommended somewhere. I had not tried it myself. Perhaps it was recommended for a different reason?

HP doesn't just hand that information out unfortunately.. They want you to buy branded drives from them. If you want wide compatibility in these machines, it's best to swap out the HP raid cards with a card that doesn't care what kind of drives are connected.

This list has been pretty helpful to me. HP Server Third Party Drive Compatability I bought some ADATA ones on the list as OS boot drives for a G8 and all looks good from my end so far. No thermal runway or anything

Almost everyone at pfsense forums will tell you don't use it to provide WiFi. Spend $50 and get the ruckus 500 (or $120and get 3 of them). It'll be stable and much easier to troubleshoot down the road.

They'll work just about as well as the Unifi AP's in the same position. The Unifi AP's are also best placed on the ceiling but work OK on a flat surface.

Anyone know if these cause the thermal runway in DL360p G8's ? I don't see the exact model listed here: HP Server Third Party Drive Compatability

I shot over an offer of $35/ea for 6 and they countered at 55/ea. Looks like you did OK.

What's the model on just one of those sticks so I can try and find some? The ones on the supermicro tested list are pretty hard to source for a reasonable price. EDIT: NVM, found it: hmt41ga7afr8a Hynix Option Samsung Option

Anyone have decent memory recommendations for this mobo? Looking for 8GB sticks.

I think I talked myself out of it when I saw the listing didn't come with drive caddies.

If the SC200 does only require a proper SAS controller card, I'll be very interested in picking one up.

Seller Accepted my $90 offer. Wasn't really planning on buying this but, oh well. New Firewall! Looks like it's a different seller than the 2558 thread too. Hopefully these boards are actually good.

It has one pci slot, but no riser included. Going to have to locate a compatible riser.

Maybe I've overlooked something, but it seems to have everything I'd need for an inexpensive VM host.

Actually, if you don't bundle the ram, you can get it down to $340.00 by adding this ram to the Server + CPU bundles.. 64GB AM472D3LD4P13C9EC : Kinston 8x8GB 2Rx4 PC3L-10600R Plus, do we still get 5% off at natex?

That build your own looks pretty tempting actually. Out the door with dual E5-2670's and 64GB's of ram for $351. I really need to stop coming here.

Confirmed. I skipped the FRUSDR and my fans are still at ~2400RPM. Figured I might as well make an account here after lurking for a month.
