This is the most ambitious #homelab server build I’ve ever attempted. I bought this Supermicro SuperServer off ebay, shipped from London England to my front doorstep in Oregon in a surprising 4 days! In this video, I build out a 2-node #Supermicro #SuperServer, build a VMware #ESXi cluster, and then build out a #TrueNAS #SCALE SAN to act as the dedicated storage!

I walk through my decisions on processor choices, RAM, VDEVs, Datasets, Shares and more!
