Hello,
First of all, i'm french (nobody is perfect ), so please, be forgiving for my English :). Thank you.
As, almost, every one who send messages here, i would like to create my own nas server...
The uses would be :
-Use of OMV which is not a problem, because i don't need a huge hardware for that.
-Use Plex with transcode for a minimum of 2 simultaneous connection 1080 p.
-And use virtualization.
I think, i don't have to explain why for the first 2.
I will use this server only privately, but I would like it to be very scalable (not sure that this is the good word... evolutionary? That i can use for many other things?)
I'm a developer and i have created program that drives the navigator(for example), and for this kind of program, i need a system on his own. (my program is not functional yet but maybe one day he will )
In addition to that, I like testing soft, and today i'm stucked to try only windows program... With virtualization , I could do anything...
Maybe one day, i will create an website that i would like to host myself...
You see the picture?
After being advised by a friend, i decide to install a xen hypervisor and to create a VM just for OMV and apart the other potential Systems...
Is that a good idea? I have seen that there are possibilities to create VM in OMV? Is it really stable? Do you have advice about that?
So i have made a lot of research to find the perfect hardware which could make this run peacefully...
But i struggle between the specs and the price...
My budget is approximatly 1500€. The less, the better. Of course ;).
So i search mother board with a lot of sata ports... The same for the case with the most HD places. A good processor who can handle everything...
Annndddd... i'm stuck... And i don't know what to do...
Here is the result of my prospecting (the sellers are french but the specs are international ) :
Motherboard :
- Gigabyte GA-6LXSL http://www.ldlc.com/fiche/PB00166037.html this one is very good, because 10 sata3, not to expensive : 210€... but no ECC...
- Supermicro X10SL7-F http://www.ldlc.com/fiche/PB00161476.html this one is the motherboard with a processor. 339€ 6sata + 8 SAS (SAS HD are very expensive) but there is almost no limit with the number of HD... No USB 3 port, No ECC... The price seems ok with the processor integrate. Is the processor a good one? it is an old motherboard...
- ASRock C2750D4I http://www.ldlc.com/fiche/PB00157542.html MB+Proc. 429€. 12 SATA port . I don't know if the processor a good one is... ECC!! No USB 3 and only one pci port...
The case would be : this one Fractal Design Define R5 Titanium http://www.ldlc.com/fiche/PB00178926.html or this one :Fractal Design Define R4 Black Pearl http://www.ldlc.com/fiche/PB00133671.html
Processor if needed :
- http://www.ldlc.com/fiche/PB00159772.html Intel Xeon E3-1220V3 (3.1 GHz) 259€
- http://www.ldlc.com/fiche/PB00153180.html Intel Xeon E3-1230V3 (3.3 GHz) 304€http://www.ldlc.com/fiche/PB00153180.html
http://www.ldlc.com/fiche/PB00153180.htmlRAM :
- Crucial DDR3L 16 Go 1600 MHz ECC Load Reduced CL9 QR X8 http://www.ldlc.com/fiche/PB00170608.html 189€ if ECC is possible
- Crucial DDR3 16 Go (2 x 8 Go) 1600 MHz CL11 ECC Registered DR X4 http://www.ldlc.com/fiche/PB00131413.html 219€
What are the differences between Registered or not? Is ECC very important?
The choice of the HD will be later... Is it a good thing to have the same HD but with diferent serie number? Because they could die together if not?
It is a long post... sorry... If you read this, you already are a warrior .
Thank you in advance.
I hope that i'm understandable...
Nicolas.
