10Gb Rack Mount SSD NAS

[dinecoj]

Hi all, wanted to share my HexOS box which previously ran TrueNAS!

 

Case: iStar D-214-MATX (2U, 2 External 5.25" Bays)

Motherboards: Supermicro X10SLL-F

CPU: Xeon E3-1271 v3

RAM: 2 x 16GB 

Drives: 3 x 2TB Inland Platinum TLC SATA SSDs

NIC: Mellanox ConnectX-3 (SFP+)

HBA: Dell H310 

 

The most notable feature is the Icy Dock 6 Bay 2.5" Disk Enclosure (MB608SP-B). The enclosure fits in a 5.25" slot, so I can have 2 x docks for 12 total hot swappable 2.5" drives 😄 I definitely don't need hot swappable bays, but pretty cool to have them.

With the SSDs and the 10Gb NIC, I'm able to achieve 1 GB/s reads and writes. For large files, my networking is the current bottleneck:

 

Here are some pictures of the build:
