Ok topic can be closed, it does not seem like a good deal.

True, is the same drive in those Maxtors, if the price is indeed 130 euro (with ship)

Abandoned project, suitable for EU (pricewise) Seagate Samsung ST4000LM016 4TB SATA III 5400 RPM 2.5" 15MM Hard Drive HDD C2100 | eBay

yeah that guy has those cards for years now, even lot of 100x :) not worth it

gone

MLC 16nm, 3.5PB Endurance 1.92TB Toshiba HK4R SATA3 6.0 Gb/s Enterprise SSD 2.5 THNSN81Q92CSE 2TB 1920GB | eBay

nope, I think that is only for the 2u systems which use the same motherboard and they have a 2x internal ssd kit above the psu or shroud

Sucks and there is not much you can do unfortunately. These are not designed for quiet specially being 1u

Good stuff craigdabbs, did you play with the acoustic settings like I advised ?

rms25cb080 = no jbod RMS25JB080 = jbod

This one sucks. Open the heatsink, check if cpu is there, see if power is plugged properly, check dented pins, etc.

I would use that, yes. Still get a cache protection if you do writeback

controllers are very reliable, you have the RMS25CB080 controller onboard which is basically a 9265-8i but you would need a bbu kit like AXXRMFBU2 or AXXRSBBU9

You can always secure erase it via hdparm, that should work. SSD Secure Erase - Thomas-Krenn-Wiki

if anyone wants/needs a intel hba module for this model (9217-8i eq) I have one at Intel Integrated RAID Module RMS25JB080 LSI2308 SAS SATA JBOD business :)

Unfortunately with those I was not that lucky, had one failed in less then a month and no workload on it. Back to topic, these are very nice servers, 60W idle, many options as I/O you can have decent raid + x520 internally and no pcie slot used. Careful on the pcie ssds, you will have trouble...

Yes they do, I had one with 8x of those drives.

get ssds and a RMS25JB080 controller there is some deal on ebay now with a bunch of 600gb savvios 10k.6

1st as advised to a bios update, find relevant files on downloadcenter.intel.com I believe is s2600gl on that model. get the whole package, bmc bios and sdr and put in on a fat32 stick then efi boot and run startup nsh after that goto BIOS > Advanced > System Acoustic and Performance...

Very good advise, thank you. 2670 is still a good deal in EU as well although the v2's are kicking in pricewise.
