Hahaha, yeah I know I know. "Starting" was a euphemism. Why not ESXi? Size of environment. If VMWare hadn't crippled the free version by not allowing API access I'd be all over that but I need to be able to do orderly shutdowns via a UPS and back VMs up with Veeam. That rules out ESXi as their...

Hey anyone know if Dell is back to blocking non-branded drives in their RAID controllers? I was reading something about them blocking consumer SSDs but was curious if they block enterprise drives like the HGST HC510. Any first hand experience one these two RAID controllers with non-Dell branded...
Anyone interested in a heavily modified 846 with a TQ backplane? If so, contact me. I consolidated my servers to some Dell R720's and as such have an 846 I gutted and put in a 120mm fan wall + modified for a standard PC power supply... Willing to let it go pretty cheap.
I did that last night and it still wasn't showing up. I'll reboot when I get back to the office and check again. I manually ran many of those benchmarks that were in your guide, @gea and I got MUCH better results with Optane. I'm thinking the problem is related to my 10G networking more than the...
