ramesivi Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 (edited) My requirements: 2.5G or 10G NVMe Cache 6 Drives (not including NVMe cache) I'll be using 6x 18TB IronWolf Pro drives. Doesn't need to be super fast, mainly a storage server with next to no docker usage, so cheap as possible without being slow. Edited December 8, 2022 by ramesivi Quote Link to comment

Brandon_K Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 The cost difference (new vs new) in a generation or two old hardware vs brand new is so small, that it seems silly to go in to a dead end platform (1151, 1200, etc). That said, something like a ASrock Z690 Pro RS gets you 8x SATA, 3x NVME and 2.5gig (plus plenty of PCIE for HBA or 10gbe expansion). $140. Add a i3 12100 for $120 and that's a pretty low power box while still having all of the needed IO. A i5 12100T can be had on ebay for ~$100 and it saves you a few more watts. Quote Link to comment
