I am considering the ASRock SIENAD8-2L2T
or SIENAD8UD-2L2Q
.
Gigabyte and Asus seem to be pricey.
Leaning towards SIENAD8-2L2T
because 2L2Q
has fewer PCIe slots (minus 2, I think) and also I don’t think I need 25Gbe in 2L2Q
. ZFS array with rust will probably not saturate even 10Gbe, and also external ethernet adapters for 25Gbe (for my laptops) cost an insane amount of money and are huge (not that 10Gbe are cheap either).
Would love to hear your thoughts if you looked into Siean builds—what caveats and things I should take into account.
Thanks!
