My current server setup is getting long in the tooth, and I'm looking to upgrade. Firstly, I need somewhere to move my storage. Currently, I am running a Dual E5-2670 setup that also runs Plex. This connects to a NetApp DS4246 that houses my disks for bulk storage. I am just looking to replace the head of the system as I'm happy with my disk shelf. Here are my requirements:
- Lower power - This will only be used for bulk ZFS storage. Plex will move to be a VM on my VM host
- Enough expansion for SAS HBA and 10Gb SFP+ (if 10Gb networking is built-in, then that's fine too)
- Preferably Rack mount, 1u or 2u
- Quiet - I know this is a hard thing to find in such a small form factor, but for low power, it shouldn't be too hard.
