I made this configuration but before spending more that a 1000€ II'd like to know someone else's opinion.
CPU: Intel Xeon E-2224G
Motherboard: Supermicro X11SCL-F
PSU: Corsair RM550x
RAM: 8/16gb ECC memory
Storage: x2 Seagate IronWolf Pro 16TB
I tried to choose a CPU-Motherboard combination that it is new enough and energy efficient but that is not the latest generation which is too expensive, that it allows me to do some light virtualization if necessary and that it can lasts for many years. This combo costs roughly 770€ new and not much less used on eBay.
I choose the Corsair RM550x because, if I understand correctly, it should have a single 12v rail and it's rated 80 PLUS Gold.
For storage instead I thought of starting with only 2 hard drives and gradually evaluate how much space I need, the problem is that I don't have many slots to mount them so I decided to use large drives.
I found the hard drives on Amazon at 340€, this would bring the cost at approximately at 1600€. before spending all this money I would like to know if there is something to change or if that can be improved.
Thanks everyone for the help
