I’m a long-time NUC user, running ESXi 6.5 as my home server. It’s a dual core with 16GB RAM. It has served me well, but with a couple memory hog VMs doesn’t meet my needs any more.
The Skull Canyon NUC is interesting, but I would like to have more than 32GB of RAM to avoid the same issues I have with my current NUC.
Any thoughts on:
- Supermicro Xeon-D systems? Noise levels too high for office use?
- Denverton Atom systems? Fast enough for general ESXi use? Some of the new Supermicro boards look good.. High core counts and lots of memory, but low clock speed: A2SDi-12C-HLN4F | Motherboards | Products - Super Micro Computer, Inc.
- Other small form factor options?
