Finally building out my new Dell PowerEdge R730xd 1 year later

Finally getting around to committing to the build. I've only had the parts for a year now. Hopefully I will enjoy the benefits of this system. Still need to figure out what I am doing with the 4TB NVMe drives. I kinda regret buying them and wish I had U.2 instead. Luckily got everything tested and good to go for the next stage. Moving the drives from my R720 over and getting ESXi setup again. The CPUs and memory are a little anemic but should still be overkill for how I use my server. Excited for 10Gb networking and more space in my NAS. Having my primary storage on 12TB of NVMe will be pretty wild. Specs:

Dual Xeon E5-2643 v3 3.4GHz six core CPUs 128GB DDR4 memory Tesla M40 GPU X540 10Gb network card module Perc H730p RAID controller Dual 1100W power supplies NVMe M.2 bifurcation card Dual 180GB Intel SSDs

In the works still: 4x 4TB Crucial P3 drives 8x 1.92TB Intel SSDs 8x 480GB intel SSDs Maybe also adding 3x 2TB Intel PCIe NVME SSDs or low profile GPU ... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TnmDZQD98yc
