I would like to be able to expand to 10Gb in the future,when prices go down. Power consumption is very different between Dell R720 (~380w), Supermicro X9DRi-LN4F+ (with two 70w Xeon ~250w) and QNAP NAS for example... (<50w)

Software recommendation for video surveillance? Is a graphics card necessary for video acceleration? Could be: NIC: X540-T1 PCIe 2.1 x8 - (not drivers for Asus xg-c100c - PCIe 3.0 x8) - I cannot use DAC due to distance limitation ZFS Cache [L2ARC]: SSD Samsung 860 EVO 250 Gb III MLC MB: ------- [Options] A2SDi-8C+-HLN4F / X10SDV-2C-7TP4F / C3758D4I-4L / C3758D4U-2TP / ¿other? CPU: ----- RAM: ----- [ECC with ZFS] CASE: --- UNYKAch 19'' ATX 4U / 19'' MATX 2U SATA: ---- [not WD EFAX] 3x Seagate IronWolf, 2TB, NAS ST2000VN004)

You're right, depending on the priority of the system, in my case, it should be Freenas. About HP Microserver - P07203-421 Any equivalent solution with 10 Gbe of lower price? About the computer case (Silverstone DS380), size and design is no problem in the garage ;D better something cheaper and functional Virtualization would not be the main role. Although with Proxmox it would be necessary to virtualize 3 machines: - SMB access - Streaming plex - Video survillance it is right? Yes, I understand the best performance / price option is to use additional cache for read and write. with ZFS it would not be necessary? How much additional ECC RAM would be required? Which 10gbe network card would be recommended in both cases?

Hello, I'm looking for home storage options with these possibilities: Stream 4k to TV Video recorder (initial 2 cam HD) RAID with 4 TB initial storage, expandable minimum energy consumption Home assistant docker Cache nvme (write and read) 10 GbE PCIe FreeNAS, proxmox, unraid? Hardware recommendations? A2SDi-8C+-HLN4F / X10SDV-2C-7TP4F / C3758D4I-4L / C3758D4U-2TP
