New build with X10SL7-F

I'm Sergio. Hi, Hello, How you are?
After a long eyelids burning session, I decided that Supermicro board is what I need for my OMV build and I just ordered it.

I must say that while this machine is for domestic use, I'm a programmer and sometimes I like to do experiments on spare times. So I will be storing the media collection for my XBMC system (perhaps I would also give Plex a try), my project sources, my wifes (advocate) stuff, and if It's possible, the security repository and host my web pages.

My idea it's running OMV in a VM on top of Proxmox. I would pass the SAS controller to OMV and build a SnapRaid, then leave the main controller waiting for someday ZFS is supported
But I have so many questions, perhaps you could give me a hand.

First It's the processor selection. My idea is having the rig up all day long, perhaps sleep at nights, but I want to economize as a could.
At first I thought about the E3-1220v3. but as I got my sun tan from looking at the screen, the E3-1240v3 looked a nice selection. I guess if idle consumption would be higher compared to the 1220.

My 2nd question is something philosophical. If OMV is based on Debian... also Proxmox (IIRC) what would be more optimal, making the installation as I described, or install OMV in a full Debian and also install all the goods for visualization?

What would be the best disk configuration for the former setup? reserve to sata ports, one for SSD system and other for a 2.5" spinning backup (raid1??) ? that would leave me with 4 SATA ports free for RAID6... and what concerns me, how I would configure virtio for OMV to access those ports.

Thanks for been there sharing that splendid knowledge. (running home... running home... :lol: )

errr, Yes! I suppose. Although I never thought I would read that from you, looking at your setup.
Hello ryecoaaron.
I was thinking that going straight to proxmox should improve on system backup and overall "undoability", to consider with a guy like me. And that a dedicated VM system should have a better performance.

But I'm sure that you have real experience on this setups. If you share your knowledge It will be appreciated.

Aaron, thanks for your shared configurations and experience. I have been so busy with my current devel project and didn't have time to come back.
So your reason for doing a direct OMV install it's for simplicity?
I did find something relevant: http://www.phoronix.com/scan.p…well_virtualization&num=2

And how about the processor?

Oh no! I'm trying to get memory for this board (to spain) and I can't get a supplier.
Anyone knows for an online shop in Europe?
Apart from the ones in SM list... What are other proven memory models? What memory this boards owners have?

Hola Raúl. Muchas gracias por el enlace. La verdad es que me has alegrado la tarde. Pero el tema realmente es si esas memorias van a ser compatibles con esta placa. También es cierto que siendo una compra nacional sería más factible el prueba y error.

Claro, por eso lo que preguntaba yo es que referencias tienen instaladas la gente de aquí que tiene esa placa. Pero es que no me explico muy bien en inglés.

Me acaban de contactar los de Alternate para indicarme que la memoria para mi placa es:

Si ellos me la indican específicamente y luego no funciona es otra cosa
Se notará mucha diferencia de rendimiento entre 1333 y 1666 Mhz? Es de 1333Mhz, pero en cambio tiene una latencia CL9 en lugar de 10-11 de las de la web de Supermicro.

For Aaron and others, Would you like me to give translations for those speaks?

Aaron, what do you think about those sticks been offered. Will a 1333mhz be a loose on a e31240v3 system?
I saw that Supermicro dropped kingston on approved memory... :roll:

I'm shopping for the CPU (1240) and then I found two new cpus. The E3-1241v3 and the E3-1231v3. The first has a slight better clock speed but It's cheaper on my local supplier. But with the 1231 it's even stranger. My first searches on the net about it, are telling me that it has the same specs that the 1240 but 47€ cheaper!!
Does anyone knows wheres the trick?

Aaron, those sticks you referenced could be CT102472BD160B crucials? Do you think they would work? https://www.alternate.es/Cruci…0MHz/html/product/1099717?
They have a nice price and they told me they would be available.

No trick. Just the Haswell refresh versions.

Very refreshing summer news for my wallet! (just when the wife had turned on the flamethrower at me)
