Here's the configuration I came up (with the great help from users of this forum) as a replacement for my HP DL380e 2xE5-2450L, 70GB RAM & P420 6x4TB RAID6:
CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 5900X with Dynatron A24
MOBO: ASRock X470D4U
MEMORY: 4 x Samsung DDR4 32GB/PC3200/ECC/UB/ (2Rx8) M391A4G43AB1-CWE
CASE: SuperMicro CSE-825TQC-R802LPB
I'm planning to populate the:
- M.2 slots with 2x WD Red SN700 2TB for fast storage
- Asmedia 1061 with 2x Samsung PM893 240GB (MZ7L3240HCHQ-00A07) for OS
- the "main" SATA controller with 3x Seagate IronWolf 8TB (ST8000VN004) in RAID-Z1 for slow storage (with regular backups to the DL380e which will become a Proxmox Backup Server)
I'll also put in a A380 GPU to be used for video transcoding.
I plan to run Proxmox with 3 VMs on this:
- OMV for NAS
- Ubuntu with dockerized Nextcloud, GPU will be passed-through to it
- Ubuntu with various Docker services (~45 at this moment, including Minecraft, Valheim and Satisfactory servers)
I planned to use qcow2 disks for Nextcloud and Docker, and a pass-through for the Seagate drives for OMV (although, I'm wondering if it would be better to migrate the Nextcloud & Docker into LXC, so I could split the GPU between them and have transcoding on both Nextcloud and Jellyfin/Plex on the Docker host).
With this build, I would expect a much better performance, especially in the game servers and less power draw (the DL380e I currently have draws ~133W from the wall)
I would appreciate any feedback on the above - if there any kind of pitfall I'm leading myself into?
