I tried reddit, but no answers so…ill give it a shot:
Hello,
Does anyone know much about mainly enterprise equiptment (both used and new)
Right now i have a few boxes (two lenovo t140 thinkservers(small towers)) running freenas on one and blueIris on the other
What i want to do is update them and go to one server and use virtulization to run the following (using VMware)
Blue Iris (6-8mp cameras)
Freenas (24tb)
pfSense
Id like to have it rack mountable.
Im looking for a server that can hold 6+ 3.5" (LFF) drives
I was looking at either a used dell 730xd or new hp DL385 (epyc)
Id like to stay as close to 1000USD as possible (without drives)
Any other suggestions? (I rather not build one)
power is a concern due to high power rates .18 per KW
any input is appriciated,
Thank you,
Dave
