I was recently donated a server with the following specs:
Supermicro 2U Server (12x 3.5" Bays)
SAS826EL1 Chasis , expander backplane with 2x SAS connectors.
X9DRI-LN4F+ Motherboard
2x Intel Xeon E5-2670 2.6ghz 8 GT/s 20m Cache Eight Core CPUs
96Gb DDR3 ECC Reg Memory
12x 3.5" Trays
SIMLP-3+ IPMI Remote Access Card
2x 920w Power Supplies
I'm wanting to add this as a secondary Plex server. The server did not come with any type of RAID card. I don't plan on using RAID in the current configuration. I was wondering if anyone could suggest a good HBA, for a JBOD configuration.
I'm thinking of either ESX, or Server 2012 R2 with Hyper-V.
Thanks for any suggestions!
