I wouldn't use NFS/SMB, but iscsi could be an option if the NAS supports the protocol
Hoping to find someone that's interested
I am looking for an 8-bay (or more) desktop NAS (diskless). Have some hardware to trade for the NAS (some options below, not everything for the NAS)
Please let me know if this post isn't allowed
I have loads of 8GB modules from DL380 machines if you are UK based?
Since SATA3 connects at 6gbps, I would assume performance would be the same regardless of using SAS3 or SAS2 backplane?
HBA cards:
SAS3 - 9380-4i4e
SAS2 - 9271-4i
No plans to add storage via external port on 9380
The plan is to build a TrueNAS / UnRAID server
