Specs:
Case Size: 2U
Motherboard: Asus Z8PE-D12
CPU: 2x Xeon E5506 (2.13 ghz)
Ram: 32GB (4x8gb) DDR3 1333 MHZ ECC Reg
PSU: 600W
OS: Debian
Usage: Personal use really, mainly just a project that will probably just end up running a LAMP server but still aiming for decently high specs so lets just pretend this is to run several game servers or some sort of performance-heavy applications.
Did a bit of research on raid setups and controllers, and I figured RAID 10 should fit me well. I know hard drives are currently inflated in price over the flood but have been coming down lately. What would be an ideal raid card for 4 Hard Drives@ 7200 rpm (may go higher if it's worth it). Was also debating on having an SSD strictly for the OS.
Please advise, thanks.
