Hi all--
I currently am looking to build a new performance storage solution for a home virtualization environment. I have a Norco 20x unraid NAS for media etc so i'm looking at a new performance based build for a loaded Poweredge T610 to connect to. Obviously must serve iSCSI...what do I have available to me?? I have various SATA, SAS and a couple of SSD's drives lying around. Hardware wise I have a HP SAS expander and a couple of HP P-series raid controllers (not sure which). Have an older'ish Supermicro MB that could be repurposed. Also have technet access to all MS products but I'm completely open to considering other options.
I'm wondering which route I should consider?
Will definitely be using ESXi and Hyper-V for learning/home lab purposes. I sincerely appreciate any recommendations and advice. Thanks!
