Guys, I specialize in engineering and data science. I'm doing a post in Data Architecture.
I was addicted to games and have always been enthusiastic, as a result I have a very good ASUS TUF motherboard (supports ECC) with 3 or 4 nvme inputs and if I'm not mistaken 6 SATA inputs. AMD Ryzen™ 9 7950X processor with WC and 11 Fans, cabinet with only 2 hd bays and they are free
1 NVME TB SSD
1 NVME 4TB SSD
1 SSD 240GB
DDR5 5600 2x32 RAM = 64GB NON-ECC
RTX 4070TI 12GB
I also have a legion Y540 notebook with 16gb ram, 2060 TI 6GB and 120 nvme + 1tb sdd, this notebook I'm testing truenas and it was sitting here.
And I have a company laptop, which I can also work with normally.
My Goals: Get a truenas and host everything from plex, nextcloud, Minio (my S3 lakehouse) or HDFS, VPN (censorship is increasing here), airflow, metabase, grafana and others, let flow of data pypelines with spark running, jupternotebook, train models test architectures and etc ...
My biggest frustration today is having a PC of this size and not taking advantage of everything, since I make models and pipelines sometimes personal and I have nowhere to host and etc, that is, I end up not using the machine 100%, and I'm tired of paying onedrive too.
I'd like your experience and help to get the setup in the best possible way.... for example... using the PC as a server,
i'm thinking of leaving it at 128GB ram, given the quality of theirs i'm thinking of buying + 64 GB non ecc instead of trying to sell them and buy a 128 ECC kit
I'm thinking of buying another 4tb SSD
and make a raid where I would add 2 SSDS 8TB and leave + 2 HDDS 16TB.
I don't know how to make the best use of the read and write rates and how to have the most space possible, since I've seen combinations with 3 HDS that leave 2 HDS free.
Can you help me with alternatives for the best setup, what new parts to buy, use the notebook in a dock with a monitor and leave this PC as a server or create a new server? remembering that computing power for the data area usually benefits from heavy-duty harware with higher clocks since they demand a lot of execution time.
I don't have a very big budget, I want to try to make the most of it without spending another 20k on a new computer. If the NON ECC ddr5 memory doesn't make a big difference to me, it's more advantageous to keep them and buy another 64.
ps: tech stuff in brazil is very expensive. it's hard to find anyone else with the same setup as me.
