Rig to run 3 VMs

[ragnarok95]

Proccessor ok, Generic No brand motherboard no thanks. I had for my x58 board, now selling at 99, very unstable then died on me after 1 month. No Warranty.

TS I suggest go with brand like Asus, MSI or Asrock. no brand no talk.

Hard to find a Asus/MSI/Asrock mobo now locally also. 2nd hand also not many selling.

I will recommend

Supermicro X10SRA (if you need alot of PCI-e lanes slot)
Supermicro X10SRA-F (if you need IPMI)

Raid card, depending on how many HDD/SDD, go LSI.

If you do not need any 16x PCI-e lanes slot, you can use
Supermicro X10SRH-CF (Onboard LSI Raid)

Ram
depends on how many GB you want to allocate in including each VM.

8GB + (XX GB per VM) DDR4-2133 REG ECC Ram

Processor
E5-2620 V4. 2.1 GHz. 8 Cores. Up to 3 GHz.
Allocate 2 Cores per VM.

SSD,
Intel S3520 SSD (coming soon, eta first week of september)
with 0.6 DWPD endurance.

Hope this helps.

Regards

Any idea what is the price for Supermicro X10SRH-CF + E5-2620 V4?

choppermind is lightly expensive but service not bad. PCthemes, Videopro, bizgram tradepac etc is selling.

Most shop has x99 board but not xeon processor.

PMed you.

FYI, X10SRH-CF is using SW Raid.

Only dual CPU supermicro MB has onboard HW LSI Raid.

Eg.
X10DRL-C
X10DRH-C

HW raid = LSI 3108
SW Raid = LSI 3008

There's also HW Raid Card.

If you want stability, it is better to use C612 MB over X99.

Actually if you won't mind getting a second hand machine from taobao , it can be even cheaper . I bought the older version C6100 with 2X Xeon L5639, being working with it for almost three years.

4GB ECC DDR3 @15SGD or less each ( you go do the maths , I got about 14 pieces and they are running fine on my machine) .

XEON E5 2620 ES workstation grade @ 600SGD .

This one is cheaper . (always ask them to run tests before shipping)
