I haven't built my own server before, but after having trouble finding one that offers the p4800x as a boot drive, I'm going to build my own. I was hoping I could get some help with components that are compatible with the drive. Here are the specs I need:
-1U rack chassis
-Single CPU at 3.5ghz or greater
-16GB RAM
All other components that are compatible with the above will easily exceed my requirements.
A couple of questions:
1. It was easy to find compatibility info for desktop CPUs and boards to go with the optane 900p ssd. Any recommendations for chassis/CPU/boards that work with the 4800x and meet the modest requirements above with way overshooting the mark?
2. Looking at the endurance numbers, I'll never come close to challenging the 900p. Would it be ill-advised to substitue the 900p in for the 4800x to cut costs? I'm assuming doing so wouldn't change compatibility with the answers to #1.
Appreciate any guidance. Thank you.
