Hey guys
I currently have 3 servers that i am trying to consolidate my resources into.
1u - dual 2670's 64gb ram
4u - Norco 4224 - 22 drives - dual 2670's 64gb ram - imb m1015 with HP sas expander
4u - Norco 4220 - 20 drives - dual L5640's 48gb ram - ibm m1015 with Intel sas expander
I want to pull the board cpu and ram from the 4u's to reduce power usage and have the 1u control everything but will need an hba with external ports (i think) and run a cable from each box. What would the best card for me to get be? or would there be a better solution? Im open to any other ideas. Main goal is to reduce the amount of power my rack is using which currently is around 600 watts.
Running Ubuntu 16.04.2 with ZFS
