NAS server more then 8 TB

[TC boy]

Dear all


I would like to buy a SSD server more then 8TB around 12 TB
I want think to build one supermicro casing server

SUPERMICRO SuperChassis CSE-826TQ-R800LPB
Areca ARC-1883ix-12 12G SAS RAID controller
Intel X520-DA2
Intel Core i5-6400T
ASUS Z170 PRO mother board
G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 4GB ram
Dynatron K199 80mm 2 Ball CPU Cooler
Sandisk Z400s SSD 128G
Windows server

Think of using 1TB x 12 SSD to build one


The operation is Full hd 10x editing user


but one of my member mention to carry a 2u server is a big problem

why dont using this

The QNAP TVS-882ST 2.5” SSD and HDD Thunderbolt 2 NAS with USB 3.1, TB2, 10GBe and more

use 2TB ssd x 8


Any one have any suggestion

Is this a different server to your other thread?

- for SSDs replace the case with a 24 x 2,5" case like
Super Micro Computer, Inc. - Products | Chassis | 2U | SC216BA-R920LPB

- use a server board with ECC, prefer a ZFS system (better performance and datasecurity)
While Qnap offers ZFS as well (based on BSD), the one you mentioned is a NAS that hardly lacks any functionality beside server grade hardware like ECC RAM or a professional approach like a modern filesystem.

Prefer software Raid like ZFS over hardware raid and Windows.
While Windows offer a newgen filesystem ReFS with softwareraid and some features from ZFS it is not yet in par to ZFS regarding performance or functionality.

prefer server grade SSDs from Samsung (PM/SM series) or Intel DC, prefer many SSDs over larger ones as performace will increase over number of SSDs and number of vdevs. Use 32-64 GB ECC RAM. 10G is a must as you should care about 150MB/s or more per user who wants to edit hd video. For 10 concurrent users this will work only with the help of a large readcache. Care about the extra space for redundancy and snapshots (previous versions).
