I have two of these Enclosures, one with an HP 9207-8e PCIe 2.0 SAS6G Host Bus Adapter and one with no HBA. I also have an internal to external SAS adapter.
I'd like $250 for each of the enclosures + actual shipping from Kansas City.
I'll throw the HBA Internal to External adapter in on the...
That is a pretty big drop from 3ish months ago. I chose the E5-2667 ($190 x 2) for the higher clock speed and because the 2697's were sitting at $300. Nice find.
@Bert, I think I only really tried to mess with MaxCache once and was disappointed to see it took a minimum of 2 SSDs in a mirror. I understand the caution - but for my setup where I care more about the performance than the data security I would have preferred at least the option. As I've...
I have two coming at $55 each. Last one I purchased several months ago at ~$80 and my first one (which is a Q) I bought at retail when they first came out.
I have two of these, in different workstations, and I also think they are great. I just submitted a offer of $50 for another, heck, might even go for two more.
I love these conversations. :) The only issue that I see with RAID6 and ZFS2, is again UREs. That has to be a huge concern for drives this large and the only true way around it is RAID10. ZFS, although better than most other file systems does not negate the danger at all. Keep in mind...
Of course with drives this size and UREs (uncorrectable read error) rate of 10^14, (, RAID 5 or RAIDZ1 or any other single parity offering is not much better than no redundancy. RAID10 is the best best, and in that scenario my setup is as efficient and also takes into mind hardware failure...
I have a unique outlook. I actually have two machines, with about 50TB each that mirror all content on a nightly basis. Each machines array is in a RAID 0 stripe - I know, the HORROR. But, let me explain. By having two full copies of my data in a fast stripe I don't worry about a failure...
Agreed, although higher, the array (raid 0/ same controller) of six 4TB drives I replaced with these did not scale linearly. Benchmarks showed 332 read and 496 write with Seq Q32T1 and 110 read/455 write Seq. I won't mention the 4K performance.
As far as the maximum transfer rate on mine...
