Their purpose is to provide back-up in the case of a catastrophic failure on the FreeNAS machine. These machines are not using ECC RAM, and are using NTFS as the file system. Storage will be mounted via NFS from FreeNAS (NFS vs iSCSI, NFS appears to come out ahead for my limited needs.)īack-up of my data is to a Storage Spaces data-set (4 x 3TB WD REDs) on a Window 10 machine (using SyncBack from 2BrightSparks), which will, in turn, be using Crash Plan to sync to a 8TB WD external drive off-site. *Next Cloud will be on the RAID 1 set-up (50GB) Mellanox in passthrough (connect to modem - ebay copper transceiver) (also in pass-through) Mellanox in passthrough (connect to local network - fibre transceiver to Netgear 1GBE switch with same transceiver) (this will be in pass-through) Sophos will be on the RAID 1 set-up (50GB) Lexar 32GB JumpDrive P20 USB 3.0 Flash Drive, Speed Up to 400MB/s (LJDP20-32GCRBNA) (already own)Ģ x Intel® SSD DC S3520 Series (240GB, 2.5in SATA 6Gb/s, 3D1, MLC) - (plan to buy)Ĭurrently at 40% capacity, with limited growth expectedĮSXi VM data store will be on a RAID 1 volume (MFBU will provide power loss protect for 512MB RAM cache on RAID card) on two Intel DC s3520's (redundancy on super-capacitor power protected drives)įreeNAS will be installed with the 8 port 2008 LSI based IT mode card in pass-through PCI-E Supermicro LSI 2008 SATA/SAS card in IT mode (already own)Ģ Port Mellanox ConnectX 10G (plan to buy, appears ESXI and Sophis UTM both support)Ģ x Finistar 10G optical transceiver (plan to buy)Įbay 1GBE Copper transceiver (plan to buy) Intel® Xeon® Processor E3-1281 v3 - (already own)Ģ x Crucial 16GB (2 x 8GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM ECC Unbuffered DDR3L 1600 (PC3L 12800) Server Memory Model CT2KIT102472BD160B (already own) Proprietaty LSI add-on card provides RAID 1 (already own) with MFBU (will consider buying) Intel® Server Board S1200V3RPL - (already own) ![]() As such, I'm preparing to migrate my existing FreeNAS and Sophos UTM from two discreet machines to a single all-in-one set-up. My Sophos instance has been running reliably on ESXI for over a year, and I feel comfortable adding more pieces at this stage. I'd like to stay with FreeNAS for storage, although I'm not keen on using it as a hypervisor for other OSes. I've been using FreeNAS for the past three years, and was on Nexenta before then. Sophos UTM has been great, and I'd like to continue using it to secure our home network, and use the web server protection feature to secure a NextCloud instance. My usage is fairly low, and consists of two full time users with limited data storage needs. I know, I know, AIO, a risky idea with ZFS, but I really think it will be fine. I'm considering moving to an all-in-one set-up for my current FreeNAS installation. ![]()
