We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time (tm) ). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.

I would like to upgrade my offsite Backup Server from Odroid XU4 to a proper ZFS solution, so I can use zfs send to sync pools. I am looking at the Supermicro Tower Server CSE-721TQ-350B. It has 6x Sata Ports. I would like to use 4x 3,5 16TB Drives (Mirror) + 2x SSDs for the OS/VMs (Mirror2).

However, I could not find how or whether it is possible to put in these two extra 2,5 SSDs. There was a mention somewhere that I need an extra bracket, to fix one SSD to the side of the HDD cage, but I could not verify this. Does anyone know?

Apart from this, I am ready to order - anything suspicious to your eye regarding my specs below?

  • Supermicro Tower Server CSE-721TQ-350B Single Xeon E-2000 / i3 CPU
  • Supermicro SC721TQ-350B - Mini Tower - Mini-ITX 350 Watt (FlexATX)
  • Supermicro - X12STL-IF- C252 Chipsatz USB 3.2 Gen1 - 2 x Gigabit LAN (LGA 1200)
  • 6x SATA3 (6Gb/s) via Intel® SW RAID Controller
  • 2x RJ45 GBit LAN (onboard), IPMI onboard
  • Intel Xeon E-2314 - 2.8 GHz - 4 Cores - 4 Threads 8 MB Cache
  • 2HE Dynatron K-650 active Intel Socket LGA 1151, 1200 (E-2000)
  • 2x 32GB (ECC UDIMM DDR4 3200)
  • 2x 480GB Samsung PM897 Datacenter SSD - 2.5" SATA 6Gb/s
  • 4x 16TB WD Ultrastar - 3.5" SATA 6Gb/s 7.2K (WUH721816ALE6L4)

About 2615,23 €.
