Hey all, I am looking for a new build for my lab. I want to go with two systems and probably a Supermicro build. My budget is around $5000 for everything.
Not sure if I should go DDR3 or 4 but I wanting to go with ECC. Hoping to get an Intel 6 or 8 core processor and minimum 64GB ram per host.
My current ESXi 6 rig is connected via Iscsi to a synology 1813+ with 8 - 4TB WD Red's in raid 6. Iops is pretty low which I am not happy about. All networking is going through a Cisco 2960 Gig switch.
summary of wants:
DDR3 or 4?
64GB ECC memory or more
6 core Intel CPU
Supermicro motherboard
6 NICs per machine (Intel)
Chassis doesn't have to be rack mount
Gold power supply (500 w)?
SSD's for data stores?
Thoughts? Suggestions?
thank you!
