Hi,
I have a whitebox server with following hardware:
Without the H310 and 6 2.5" HDDs the power consumption is ~69 W @ idle. This would be ok, but I loose space.
The HP H240 would be fast enough (for me) to connect to the 16x Backplane filled with 16 SSDs (in the future).
How much power does a SAS3/SATA3 expander card consume? Which one would you recommend? Or should I sell the H240 and get a HBA with 16 internal ports? Which one should I use? I would like to stay <80 W.
Please no discussion about getting rid of the 2011 system. I got a shitton of DDR3 Reg ECC.
