March 23, 20233 yr Ok so I have been struggling with all my recycled parts for running my server. I finally got 1 good recycled server that I think will work for my media server. Its a Dell T140 with a Perc H330 or H350 I cant remember which but either way its in HBA mode. Now I need 1 PCIE 8x slot for the HBA controller and 1 for my 10gig Nic. I would like to run a GPU in this box too but limited on lanes and card slots. Also not sure which Video card I could add. I run Dockers for downloading and Plex and Host a requester public. the CPU only has 6 cores. I got 64gigs ECC ram. Now my real questions are how should I setup my my cache drives and spin disc's. I got 12TB qty 4 drives for spin and I have 2TB SSD Qty 2 and I have 512 SSD's Gig qty 2. I dont even know if I need the 512gig ones. I was thinking maybe set those 2 up in a stripe set and use to write temp files. But they seam to over head quick if they get used much. and then stick the dockers all in the 2TB in a mirror. I don't know just trying to figure out the best way to setup with this hardware. or should I scrap this crap and do something else?
