  1. Hi everyone! I want your opinnions about this idea. I work in a small company that works with Geographic Information System Mapping (GIS) and they have like 60TB of data spread in various external HDD. They want to modernize their information system and I have to propose some ideas. Actually, they have 2 servers. Server 1 - Some HP server (oldest): CPU: Intel Xeon CPU E3-1220 V2 @ 3.10GHz RAM: 8 GB 4 HDD trays with 1 TB each (In one of those Ubuntu 18 is installed) 1 TB SSD empty (because they want to install OS there) Server 2 - Dell PowerEdge R540 (newest): CPU: Xeon Silver 4110 RAM: 32GB 8 trays for HDD/SSD: 1 TB SSD with Ubuntu Server 18. RAID 0 (via BIOS): 2 TB HDD + 2 TB HDD. They are the same model. 1 HDD 5 TB. 16 TB in RAID 10 (16 + 16) Seagate Iron Wolf NAS. This is my idea for Server 1: Buy 4 HDD of 16TB each (link: HDD) to make a NAS server, maybe with FreeNAS. I think I have to install FreeNAS on the SSD, I don't know because I've never done that before. This server, I want to use it to store all the information they have. Idea for Server 2: This server has 8 trays for HDD/SSD, and 4 of those are with Seagate Iron Wolf NAS. I want to buy another 4 of those, to make a raid 10 of 32TB (32 + 32) and put the SSD with the OS (Ubuntu Server) inside of the server, not in the front where all HDD are. So, the summary is: Server 1: 4 HDD 16TB RAID 0. SSD with FreeNAS. Server 2: 8 HDD of 16 TB each. RAID 10 (32 + 32). 1 TB SSD Ubuntu Server. Should I recommend this to my boss? What are your opinions? Help please Sorry for my english if something is bad hahah
  2. Hi! I'm new in the forum and I need some help. I have a Dell PowerEdge R540 with the following hardware: Xeon Silver 4110 32GB RAM 1 TB SSD with Ubuntu Server 18. RAID 0 (via BIOS): 2 TB HDD + 2 TB HDD. They are the same model. 1 HDD 5 TB. 4 HDDs 8 TB (Seagate Iron Wolf NAS) brand new. The server is used primarily to run big queries in PostgreSQL with postGIS and to store data. Also, in the future I want to take advantage of the number CPU cores, but don't know how yet. The big question is: How can I manage the HDDs installed on it? RAID? The idea is to have plenty of space and the possibility to recover data if a HDD "breaks" A friend told me that I should do RAID 10 with the 4 HDDs (16TB - 16TB). But I want opinions :D Sorry for my english, I'm Spanish-speaking. Thanks!
