I want to buy an old HP ProLiant DL380 G6 Server(16 hdd slots) and have the option between 3 CPUs(everyone of them apparently has two cpus each):
1. 2x Xeon L5630 Quad Core 2.13 GHz - 249,99 EUR(the website is in German)
2. 2x Xeon L5640 Six Core 2.26 GHz - 299,99 EUR
3. 2x Xeon X5670 Six Core 2.93 GHz - 419,99 EUR
Is it worth to go with the X5670 even thought its 120 EUR more than the L5640 (comparison)?
Would it make sense to buy two L5630 so I would have 32x 2.5 inch HDD slots total?
Also: What hdd should I choose. I know that WD makes good Desktop HDD but Seagate not so much. When I look for HDDs I find a lot of Seagate Enterprise 1TB HDD(so I assume that Seagate makes good Server HDDs?) for 180 EUR are they worth it for a home NAS?
The Seagate BarraCuda 2TB for 80 EUR (Desktop HDD) seems cheap but with RAID 6 the data is protected and the cost to replace one HDD isn't that high. But is it worth it for the long run.
