Hardware
HP MicroServer Gen8 with an Intel Xeon E3-1220L v2 and 8 GiB ECC RAM (1600 MHz). It isn’t the best choice, but I already had it lying around and it is acceptable after changing the CPU from the original Celeron. I decided not to use another consumer-grade computer for this, since the server offers ECC memory and therefore should be more reliable.
The SSD (Intel DC S4500 480GB) is connected to the first drive slot in a 3.5 ″ adapter. I originally wanted to connect it to the internal ODD SATA port, but since it only supports SATA2 (3Gbit/s) and does not support booting from it, requiring an additional boot drive, I decided against this.
For storage it has two Hard drives (Seagate Exos E 7E8 ST8000NM000A and WD Ultrastar DC HC320 0B36404) in BTRFS RAID1. They are connected to the 2rd and 3th bay. Bay 3 is only SATA2, but that should not be the bottleneck.
Purpose
It is my main storage server that is responsible for handling storage and processing of big files to which I need a high throughput connection.
