Hi!
Very torn appart looking at the orico cf1000 that just ended kickstarter and the ugreen dxp8000 plus…
I am looking for a solution that would be compact, support from 8-10 hdds per unit plus at least two nvme drives. Needs to have 10gbps Ethernet and ideally pcie extension or something else that allows for an sfp 25gbps fibre card.
My goal is to build a proxmox cluster at home and use ceph for distributed storage for vms and containers. On top of that I would virtualize unraid or another os for my storage needs.
I really like the design of the dxp8000 plus and it seems to have good ventilation for cooling on the opposite of the orico. The pcie expansion is also great!
But… I reached out to orico and they agreed to allow me to purchase 3x cf1000 at kickstarter price 899$ usd which is
substantially lower than other options. Is there something in the diy world that would compete with that price point for similar specs? Otherwise would you risk going for the cf1000? Thanks!!
