looking for 30GBs storage server configuration

[ilia987]

I am looking for an for a new storage server. we are thinking on supermicro,
The server require a very fast storage, luckily our data size is small.

Dont know if it possible to store in 3 asrock ultra quad m2 card each with 4*960 samsung ssd,
total of 12 ssd, is it possible to make all 12 of them in raid ? if so it will reach the needed 30 GB/s.

what server shoud fit best for multiple asrock ultra quad m2

other solution are acceptable as long they are under 10k$

How is this "storage server" being connected? That will be the bandwidth limiting factor. A 4+1 RAID 5 of SATA SSDs could provide a 10GE full.

40g qsfp+ dedicated pci card , and will connect to Dell S4820T (to one of the uplinks),

I think you are going to have to go ThreadRipper to get enough PCIe lanes to go around. You need 48 just for your 3 Asrock cards. Plus 8 more for the 40GE card. That is more than a single Xeon has. You could do dual socket Xeon.

I have no idea if it is possible to RAID three of the Asrock cards.

I was thinking to go with duel xeon. it is not our first server. but it the first time we want to do a fast storage. there enterprise grade solutions that give that speed. but all of them are over 50k . I have tried to asking arsock but I didn't receive any response..
