thanks for the parts list, especially because I think ASRock Rack paired with a Ryzen Pro offers better performance than a Supermicro in the same price range.

- MrFoof 4y agoThere’s reasons for that though. I could drop a few more watts if ASRock could put together a decent BIOS where disabling things actually disables things. SuperMicro costs what it does for a reason. —- ————- If you’re looking for a chassis, I’m using a SilverStone RM21-308, with a Noctua NH-L9a-AM4 cooler, and cut some SilverStone sound deadening foam for the top panel of the 2U chassis. Aside from disks clicking, it’s silent, runs hilariously cool (I 3D printed chipset and HBA fan mounts at a local library) and it’s more usable storage, higher performance (saturates 40Gbps trivially) and lower power consumption than anything any YouTuber has come remotely close to. That server basically lets me have everything else in my rack not care much about storage, because the storage server handles it like a champ. I really considered doing a video series on it, but I’m too old to want to deal with the peanut gallery of YouTube comments.
