    Dell C6100 used for openstack cluster.

    I have a C6100 that I want to setup with Openstack. The only decision holding me back right now is HDD / SSD choice. Should I get some inexpensive 2TB HGST drives that have been dumped on ebay recently? Or should I get 8 Intel DC S3500 drives? (Or should I get a mix of both?) Does anyone one...

    "Refurbished" SSDs?

    I see quite a few used "enterprise" SSDs (on Ebay, NewEgg, etc) that the seller describes as "refurbished," "factory refurbished," or "manufacturer refurbished." I can imagine all sorts of cleaning, lubrication, tuning up and checking that could be performed for a mechanical drive, but what...

    2U SSD Optimized Hot swap Chassis?

    I've seen a lot of 2U semi-hot-swap chassis with 24-ish drives mounted vertically across the front. That's nice and all. But they're usually optimized for those bulky spinning-rust 12.5mm drives, and they're only semi-hot-swap because you have to: Pop the drive out unscrew the old drive screw...

    What drive configuration & FS for a home server using Proxmox and BTRFS (hopefully)

    Hi all, I'd love to run a Proxmox setup for my home server and really like the flexibility that BTRFS seems to offer for my personal files and media, but I know that BTRFS isn't great with VMs (by default) nor integrated into Proxmox. So I'm wondering whether I can do some sort of mix of ZFS...

    HGST Virident FlashMAX 2 550GB $145 or BO

    Looks pretty good, although no personal experience with any PCIe based SSDs. Seems to have pretty good read IOPS though. HGST Virident FlashMAX 2 550GB SSD Flash PCIe Enterprise Drive - App Accelerator Update: the spec for this seems much better than the Toshiba HK3E2 Series i i bought recently.

    (quiet) ESXi server upgrade recommendations

    I currently have a HP G6 server with P410 RAID running my home vSphere setup.
