Skalyx Posted April 1, 2020 Share #1 Posted April 1, 2020 (edited) Hello, I am looking to build a Xpenology but am hesitating on installing on bare metal or VMware ESXI 6.7 to replace my DS916+. I would like to use at all time as a NAS as a massively used file server where Moments will be running and casually use VMs (Win10, WinServer & Ubuntu). I know we can use VMs on Synology. That is why I am hesitating. My specs: Intel Xeon E5-2630LV3 (8cores 16threads) Fujitsu 32GB DDR4 ECC 2400mhz Kllisre X99 LGA2011-3 motherboard from Aliexpress 2x WD Red 8TBs (Dedicated for the storage) 2x WD Red 6TBs (Dedicated for the storage) 2x Samsung NVME 256GB SSD PM981 (for the cache) 1x Toshiba Sata 256gb SSD (for the VMware ESXI installation) 1x 2.5 GBE Network interface 1x 1GBE Network interface 1x APC Back up UPS My aim is to have the less problem as possible while the best stability, security, and performance as possible. Requirements: Have at least 18TB with, for example, SHR Have redundancy SSD Cache (NVME maybe?) PS: All my data will be backed up to my GSuite account with HyperBackup. Many thanks for your precious advice! Edited April 1, 2020 by Skalyx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
