It is a few Gen's old, but still viable. Supermicro hardware has a pretty long shelf life.
In this case, the board is Discontinued, but they will have drivers and info on their site for a long time.
Can anyone confirm the above item would be a good purchase for some home server use? I am looking to run
https://www.proxmox.com/en/ and then will also use Docker in each VM. I want to run a DNS server and a few other 'things' and I would like it to be upgrade capable later. I plan to add more RAM and a better hard drive eventually.
Any thoughts? Alternatives? I would love to buy a ThunderX 96 core ARM system like the System76 Starling but I don't have the money for it. This seems like a low noise 32core system with the capability of handling a good amount of ram on the cheap. I would swap out the SSD for a SSHD in the 6-8TB range and probably be good to go.
Am I missing something?
Thanks,
Aaron
