DjSamLb Posted June 1, 2016 Share Posted June 1, 2016 I'm planning my second rig using UNRAID I got the Chenbro NR40700 on ebay for a good deal, it has the following specs: Qty 1 Supermicro X8SIA-F Bulk ATX 1156 Intel 3420 Qty 1 Intel Xeon X3450 2.66 8MB Quad Core 1156 Tray Qty 4 Actica 8GB 1600MHz ECC/Reg DDR3 Samsung 512Mx8 2R 1.5v CL11 Qty 1 LSI 9211-8i Bulk LSI 9211-8i 6Gb/s PCI-Express Qty 4 Power Supplies-Emacs MTW-5820V (ROHS) Qty 3 Fans Qty 48 Hard Drive Brackets I also got 18x assorted brands 15k 300Gb Sas drives on ebay for an amazing deal to be connected to an LSI 9266-8i using Raid 10 I will be using the latest UnRaid beta so am gonna use 2 WD reds 4TB for parity drives connected to the onboard Sata controller 3Gbps ports I will flash the LSI 9211 to an IT firmware and connect a 480GB SSD and 8x 4TB hard drives to it My plan is the following: 2 WD reds 4 TB each for parity on the onboard SATA controller the 18x 300GB SAS Drives will appear as 1 drive for unRAID, I will add it to the array together with the 8x 4TB drives When creating shares for the VMs I will choose the SAS drives array disk and exempt the others and for the data share I will only select the 8 x 4TB drives The 480Gb SSD is for Cache and some Dockers Planning on using XFS for both Cache and Array drives. This way I will have 32TB of Data shares, 2.7TB for VMs on 15k SAS drives and 480GB SSD cache. I also got an HP Quad Port Network card and the motherboard has 2 + 1 IPMI ports. Planning on Bonding all 6 ports using balance-rr and connecting them to my Mikrotik CRS smart switch for a total of 6gb link that will be bridged between the unRAID and the VMs Any tips, pointers, ideas? Am I doing anything wrong / asking for too much from the system? Your experienced input is highly appreciated Quote Link to comment
