How much do you care about what you spend?

 

Getting these externals is a much better value.

Then remove from casing and they work in any server

 

I don't see a reason to get red pros, performance won't really matter, and you don't have many drives, Id save the money if it was me.

Also, do I get SSDs for cache and boot?

Your on gigabit networking right? If so ssd caching won't help, your all network limited.

 

Id get a boot ssd, there cheap. Or for that supermicroboard, just get a sata dom.

So, just one ssd?

thats what id do, use it for boot, 120gb will be fine. You can get away with less if you want.

 

No reason to get a a fast one. SSds are reliable enough these days I wouldn't bother with raid 1.

speaking of raid, should I do raid 0 or 1?
