EliteDesk 800 G6 SFF setup (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Hi guys,

Just picked myself up an EliteDesk 800 G6 SFF:

Current specs:

  • CPU: i5-10500
  • RAM: 8 GB
  • NVMe SSD: 256 GB

My plan is to beef this up with:

  • RAM: Crucial Pro DDR4 RAM 64GB Kit (2x32GB) 3200MHz

  • HDD: 4TB ironwolf NAS drives * 2

  • NVME SSD: Samsung 970 EVO Plus 1 TB PCIe NVMe M.2

How I'm planning my setup:

The existing 256 GB NVMe will host Proxmox.

The new 1 TB NVMe will be for VM's & LXC's

The 4TB ironwolf NAS drives will be configured in a mirror and will be used as a NAS (Best way to do this?) as well as for bulk data from my services, like recordings from Frigate.

Services:

  • Home Assistant (Currently running on a pi4)

  • Frigate (Currently running on a pi4)

  • Pi hole (Maybe, already running on an OG pi)

  • Next cloud (Calendar, photos)

  • TailsScale

  • Vaultwarden

  • Windows 11

My follow on projects will be:

Setup PBS to back up my Host(proxmox-backup-client), VMS & LXC's

I have a Raspberry Pi 4 that I was thinking to use for PBS in the short term, but will eventually move it to something like an n100 mini PC.

I will also setup a second NAS(TrueNAS most likely, bare metal) to back up the 4TB ironwolf NAS.

This is my first proper homeLab, having mostly tinkered with Raspberry Pi's and Arduino's up to this point, any advice on my setup would be really appreciated.

Hardware wise, are the drives SATA? I couldn't get an answer at a glance. If you are running them mirrored, you can back off on the cost.

The three drives may ramp up the fan on that. Check to see if there are additional fan headers and add some intake fans.

Yes the mirrored drives will be SATA, what do you mean by back off on the cost though?

I read somewhere on a reddit post that someone added an extra fan, I think it might have been a G4, but I think the same mod would be applicable for a G6, I'll definitely keep it in mind, thanks.

I was expecting them to be more expensive, but $85/drive isn't bad.

I'm in Europe, so they're coming in at €120 for me, not exactly cheap as chips still...
