@Ninja1283 Yes, it is the same model and they were also half the price - $75 each :)

What is the latency like? E.g. compared to S3500 or S3700?

Hey @Patrick, after the 2nd image you may have a typo Key specs are read speeds of 2,500 MB/s with read speeds of 900MB/s. 70/30 mixed workload IOPS are rated at 110K. Should probably be: Key specs are read speeds of 2,500 MB/s with write speeds of 900MB/s. 70/30 mixed workload IOPS are rated...

@Patrick why not use SED drives? A full secure wipe is a few seconds/minutes away.

@GuybrushThreepwood obligatory 'please run passmark and sth benchmarks' :)

@T_Minus Not sure if this is the case: I remember an issue with ESXi and sync where the setting would not be obeyed even when set to disabled Do not have the original information, but quickly searching online showed this as an example: SOLVED: Performance Issues With FreeBSD ZFS Backed ESXi...

@JimPhreak post back with noise level, please :) Specs show 56.7dB, but that seems to be on startup and it settles back down

Seagate Demonstrates Fastest-Ever SSD Flash Drive | Business Wire 10 Gigabytes(!) per second throughput for the SSD - nothing listed about IOPS The NVMe uses 16 PCIe lanes and an 8 lane model will be also released Things are escalating quickly :D So...how long before someone here gets one? :)

Nice find, as it includes the Server OS. "Just in Case Someone is Wondering" Side note and Pro-tip: Server 2012 Essentials cannot be upgraded to Server 2012R2 Essentials - requires format and install.

I remember that one of those new models allows for dynamic allocation of drives to nodes, so that may be the reason. However, I cannot recall which version (6220 or 6220 V2) it was released/started with.

Apparently 2nd half of 2016... :| Thanks, Nadella! :P

@Patrick do it

@Ponury Typ The HP ML and the Lenovo TS and TD servers can be quit(er) - some more than others. Off the top of my head they can range anywhere from higher 20s, to 30s, to 40s dBA. However, it seems a universal thing, now, that as soon as you use a 'non-recognized' (i.e. not...

@Chuckleb Lustre with ZFS? Or? :)
