I'm looking to build a server to host 6-10 Linux servers on Proxmox for my small ISP. Not a huge workload, nor do I need tons of storage (<4TB after redundancy).
I currently have a X8DTU generation 2U Supermicro I bought used, which is getting flakey. I'm looking for something relatively fast and quiet and reliable, so I want to go all NVME SSD.
Here is what I am thinking so far, and I would appreciate any comments:
$650 ASRock Rack ROMED8-2T Epyc Rome motherboard. This seems like a great fit because it comes with 6 "SLIMLINE NVMe x8" ports on the motherboard which (If I understand things correctly) allows me to hook up 6 U2 2.5" NVME drives with the right cables.
$1160 EPYC 7302P 16C/32T processor.
$720 8@$90 Kingston Technology 16GB 3200MHZ DDR4 ECC Reg CL22 DIMM 2RX8 Micron E Idt (On supported memory list for MB)
$1600 - 4@$400 2.5” Micron 7300 Pro U2 NVME SSDs 1.9 TB
$152 - 4@$38 - Cables for slim NVME to U2: Slim SAS SFF-8654 4i Straight to SFF-8639 U.2 Cable
$110 Antec Performance Series P101 Silent Black 0.8mm SPCC ATX Mid Tower Case with 8 x 3.5" HDD / 2.5" SSD Removable Bays
$199 Seasonic PRIME TX-750, 750W 80+ Titanium, Full Modular Power Supply
$80 Noctura 140mm CPU Fan for SP3 socket
$110 M2 SSD Micron 2200 series system drive 512GB - includes power loss protection
$4860 + tax and shipping
Thoughts? Suggestions?
