Hi Community!
Another hardware recommendation related topic!
I have a Dell PowerEdge 7525 that I am going to dissect as it is out of warranty and hasn't been functioning the greatest either. Recently just to make matters worse Dell released firmware which created issues reading SMART values which then resulted in the ZFS volume dropping drives, it was caused by iDRAC firmware. It was the last straw.
I am pulling the following parts from the server:
CPU - AMD Epyc 7302 x 2
RAM - SK Hynix 3200MHz 16Gb x 16 sticks
Disk - Seagate 4Tb 7200RPM x 12
HBA - Dell 12Gbps (to attach to our tape library)
I also have some spare 10Gb Intel NICs that are not OEM vendor specific and another 12 Seagate disks laying around.
I would like to create two servers for use with PBS from the above parts so I would like recommendations for:
A single socket motherboard
SATA/SAS HBA
2U rackmount server case that can house 12 drives, has a reliable backplane and if possible redundant PSUs
Heatsinks
I am based in Australia so if you would mind being conscious that I need the parts to be available to here.
I appreciate your input!
Thanks!
