I’m looking to start out my homelab with a Dell R640 or R740 poweredge server. What features / CPU should I be looking for? I plan to run Proxmox and maybe Truenas and may try out Hyperv as well, since that’s what we use at work.
Recommendations on Raid Controller?
And what’s the differences in CPUs? I’d like to go with the Xeon Gold is there a certain series that’s better?
I think I want SAS SSDs, any model that’s affordable?
I know I want Idrac enterprise.
I’m keeping an eye on ebay, looking for a deal.
