Hi all,
I am investigating boards for a quiet, lightly loaded home server with 4-8 VM's and a light file server. I have a NAS on the internal network that takes the bulk of the data.
I have researched the Supermicro M11SDV-4CT-LN4F ( M11SDV-4CT-LN4F | Motherboards | A+ Products | Super Micro Computer, Inc. ) and M11SDV-4C-LN4F ( M11SDV-4C-LN4F | Motherboards | A+ Products | Super Micro Computer, Inc. ) on recommendation. I am very impressed.
What do you think of these boards as the basis for a home server that is quiet and good value for money? Would the 4c/4t model suffice for my needs? I would prefer the 4c/8t model but that is about 50-75% higher in price.
I'm considering a chassis based on my experiences with the HPE ProLiant MicroServer Gen8. This one looks very fine indeed: SC721TQ-250B2 | Mini-tower | Chassis | Products | Super Micro Computer, Inc. .
In summary, my question is this: Will the 4c/4t model hold me for the next couple of years for the use case I've outlined? Or should I really invest a little more and get the 4c/8t model? Will I notice the difference? Thanks!!
