It seems much harder to lookup options for rack based hardware… or at least I am having trouble.
I am not even sure what the terms/technology that I may be wanting…
Here is what I am trying to aim for:
- rackmount
- storage capability - let’s say 2-4 hdd (3.5), 2 ssd (2.5)
- probably room for a reasonably powerful gpu
- room for dual 10g sfp+
- standard motherboard/power? ATX likely?
- at least 2 nvme/m2 on motherboard (I assume I can just pick any ATX motherboard but what should I be careful of in a rackmount case?)
- latest gen usb3 port externally (perhaps motherboard would have this covered?)
… now for some conflicting ideas…
Should I be looking to have storage by itself? Are there ways I can connect multiple computers to share a mass storage device that isn’t nas? What are SAS controllers? ISCSI? I assume there are faster options than USB or network?
I really have no idea what exists to weigh options.
Thanks
