In short, I want to build a 1u or 2u rack server with Intel optane (900p or p4800x) as the boot drive (and no other storage device). Unfortunately, I can't find anyone that is offering this yet (Dell, HPE, Supermicro resellers, etc). So, I'm going to build my own, BUT to date I've only put together desktops.
It's also been frustrating to find a dearth of info on compatibiliy of server components - which has led me to feel more comfortable using desktops parts (and there's no way I come anywhere close to the endurance numbers before I replace this). I'd happy be getting the following hardware below into a server chassis, but is that doable?
-Intel Core i7-8700K Coffee Lake 6-Core 3.7 GHz (4.7 GHz Turbo) LGA 1151 (300 Series) 95W BX80684I78700K Desktop Processor Intel UHD Graphics 630
-ASRock Fatal1ty Z370 Gaming K6 LGA 1151 (300 Series) Intel Z370 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.1 ATX Intel Motherboard
-G.SKILL Ripjaws V Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) 288-Pin DDR4 SDRAM DDR4 2666 (PC4 21300) Intel Z170 Platform / Intel X99 Platform Desktop Memory Model F4-2666C15D-16GVB
-Intel Optane SSD 900P (280GB, AIC PCIe 3.0 x4, 20nm, 3D XPoint)
More specifically, my questions are:
1. Can I fit these in 1U or 2U? If so, how do I handle cooling? Nothing I've ever used before would seem to fit.
2. Are there other considerations besides endurance that I should be aware of? This will be going into a remote data center.
Appreciate any guidance on the above. Thank you.
