First post as a member, longtime reader.
I have weighed the pros and cons of DIY vs commercial (synology) NASs and have decided to roll my own.
Environment:
Rack mount
Connection Symmetrical gigabit fiber
pfSense UTM on Dell r210 with E3-1240
Ubiquiti Switch with SFP/SFP+
Virtualization on Dell r710 with dual L5640s
I am wanting to setup a NAS to file serve and provide Backup / Time Machine services. Media transcoding will be handled by virtualized server on the r710. I have been looking at the following
Processor: E3-1240v5
Motherboard: Supermicro X11SSH-CTF
Chassis: Supermicro SC836TQ-R800
RAM: 64GB ECC
NIC: 10Gb SFP+ add in
Drives: 8x HGST Deskstar NAS H3IKNAS40003272SN, ZFS Z3
Users: 10 concurrent
Thoughts on components and ability to keep up with data requests?
