Some hardware recommendation to build few nodes

HannanHannan Member, Host Rep

Hi Guys,

I was wondering what is your opinion on the brands and hardware models to build few 1U nodes.
What I need is
Supermicro 1u Chassis 2 or 4 HDD slots
Supermicro Motherboard
E3 v5 1230 or higher?
32GB or 64GB RAM
2 x 1TB SSD drives

What Motherboard, RAM, CPU, SSD etc. models have you used and recommend to use?

Cheers

  • Maybe you can ask your Datacenter if they can help you. They often get discounts. And the difference between brands today is not that huge.

    Might as well get an E3v6 instead of a v5 at this point.

    Thanked by 1Clouvider
  • We suggest you to go this

    E3 v5 1230
    32GB Ram
    4 x 1TB HDD

  • E3 v5/v6 became now actually useful with 64GB RAM limit instead of 32GB.

    Would personally not buy as 1U is too much for a single CPU, but they are overall not bad.

    Guys any exact models do you have in mind? For compatibility or etc?

    Thanks

    I would do the following setup:

    • SM SC116TQ-R700CB
    • SM X11SSL-CF
    • Intel Xeon E3-1240v6
    • 4x 16GB DDR4 ECC
    • 8x 500GB SSD / 4x 1TB SSD (both in RAID 10)
    • CPU Cooler
    • Cables (Mini SAS HD to SATA backplane and 4x cables to replace the short fan cables)

    Hope this works for you!

    I don't know what you mean, but my response has been the most specific for now...

  • Good luck with those 1 GB SSDs @gleert...
