Hi,
I have a question. I have an option of either:
- DAS connected to Optiplex 990 i5-2400 MT with an LSI - external DAS case can hold about 8-10 drives…
- NAS using PowerEdge T610 2xXeon E5640 - likely the 3.5 setup for 8 drives
Any thoughts on what would be best route to go? The DAS solution is I guess bigger and better for long term as I can swap a new case, etc… But the NAS all in one is pretty attractive… getting a good price on the PowerEdge so they are comparable in cost. And from what I can tell the T610 with the dual Xeon will be a lot faster than the i5 and has other server oriented things like dual PSU, 2xNic, ECC memory, etc…
Use case is Unraid with docker, etc…
Thoughts?
Thanks!
