Dell r730 variants? by camber-weaver in c/homelab@selfhosted.forum

Thank you for all of this info. I'm planning to slowly roll out three of these servers with Proxmox as a cluster. I'm just upgrading all of the available power outlets and spec'ing UPSes now.

Via another reddit thread on the topic, I found this YouTube playlist which has been super helpful. Just re-posting it here for posterity:

Thanks, y'all.

I don't think I need so many drives so now its just a matter of verifying that if I scoop one or two low-RAM-specs off of eBay for cheap I will be able to re-populate them with RAM.

Dell r730 variants? (alien.top)

I'm just pushing into rackmount hardware and I've been considering picking up an r730. From what I'm reading it seems *possible* that there are a couple of variants. Maybe related to available drive bays? Any chance someone could point me to some docs or some resource on variants?

Note: I don't consider differing CPU and RAM spec within a model as variants.

thx!

My "server" died. Looking to go rack-mount now. 21.5 Promox suggestions? (alien.top)

My "server" -- and by that I mean a re-purposed desktop with a boatload of SSDs -- just died. I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to resurrect it and I thought in parallel I would look into finally going rackmount. I've a 15U 21.5" deep StarTech rack and I'm curious what folks here would recommend for that depth for running Proxmox? It'd be nice if it were power-efficient as possible. Not super noisy might be a consideration too but I'm running cable to locate the rack in a quiet corner of the basement so perhaps not a huge concern.

In a few months I might pick up a handful of additionals and do a Proxmox cluster.

Appreciate any advice y'all might have.
