I want to set up a home server to run the following:
3+ IP cameras recording 24/7 (preferably at 720p if possible)
host website (very low traffic, like a few hits a day max)
media (movies/music/pictures/etc)
smart home features (smart locks/nest/lights/etc)
imaging (ghostcast)
test lab (VMs for testing)
Maybe a couple other things as they come around. I see lots of Dell PowerEdge R710s for around 500 bucks and up and I think they would handle all that with ease if I got one with specs like:
2x 6 core (24 total cores including the hyperthreading)
24 GB ram (not sure if I would need to up it to 36 GB+?)
4x 2TB (not included in above price, 3.5" SATA 7200 rpm)
2x 120 GB ssd (not included in above price, for C drive)
I want to mirror the drives so 120 GB C drive for the OS (with 120 GB mirror) and 4 TB for main storage with 4 TB backing that up.
Something like this for example: http://goo.gl/rESYUN
This should be able to easily handle the above mentioned tasks with plenty of resources to spare, right?
