Gonna be starting up my threadripper store-box build this week, as the final parts finish roll in (currently 16TB RAID-Z, but planning to expand it to 32 TB). Really excited.

Really excited. threadripper NAS uh waste of money, and the 2x network cards, get yourself a quad socket 1gbit or a 10GbE card + switch then maybe if just a NAS threadripper can be used for something else completely different Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had the 3x8TB RAID-Z setup on my dual-booted desktop, but for some reason I've been having a hard time getting Ubuntu working consistently after a MoBo + CPU replacement (Windows survived it without caring, though, which impressed me), so I've been planning to make a ZFS NAS for a while and been drooling over the threadripper for a while, so... yeah... My friend is gonna be using it remotely for CGI rendering and I tend to do a fair amount of FFmpeg transcoding, so it won't be entirely going to waste, but yeah, realistically speaking, most of its clock-cycles will most likely be spent on BOINC / Folding@Home. I may go for a 10GbE card eventually, but that would require upgrading the rest of my home networking environment and, even then, the bottleneck would be hard drive speed (or my measly 9.5-10 Mbps internet upload speed). Main reason for the multiple network cards is as active-backup. Edited September 3, 2018 by MinimumHedgehog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
