Working on the server. Got 4 850 pro's in thanks to
@T_Minus, and my Windows Storage Spaces score is pretty good, but I'm trying to see if I can up the score a bit more. Here is a link to some questions I asked about storage spaces in the Windows Server subforum:
Serer 2012 R2, Storage Spaces and Tiering
Funny thing with the SSD Drives in the supermicro case. The led light up like I would like them to with the SSD's (activity light on all the time, and blinks for actual activity), but not with the hard drives.
Oh,and Nas4Free was not working well at all; consistently loosing my configuration for the zfs pools. I hate Freenas with a fiery passion (how hard can you make it to add users to an SMB share) So I'm trying WinServer2012r2.
Now the question is should I switch everything over to Hyper-V over the summer? I'm currently running 2 servers in esxi, which works well for me, but hyper-V may be easier to manage both servers with less used resources if I stick with Windows Storage Spaces.
Thanks all
Marshall
