I'm planning to build a new-to-me server, with capacity for 10+ light duty Windows VMs on Hyper-V. It will be dual-cpu E5-2680v2 10-cores w/ 64GB RAM, so I think I'll have enough provisioning for that.
My question is, what would be a good configuration for the boot drives? I'm contemplating Intel S3500 series SSDs, maybe 4x300GB or 600GB in RAID10 on LSI 9271, would this be a good start? I am open to suggestions on other drives, or options I might not have considered. I don't have any NVME slots, but the board has 6x PCI-e 8x slots available, and I'm not well versed on AIC cards.
This is the setup I'm getting, for anyone curious: Supermicro | Products | SuperStorage Servers | 4U | 6047R-E1R36L
