Hi All,
I have a slew of 10k SAS drives sitting around, an LSI MegaRaid SAS 9211, and two Intel x520 10GBE cards. the things i do not have sitting around is a MoBo, proc, and ECC which were on the recommended hardware listing.
My first test showed that my white box vmware host was able to push 2GBps to host using the following
asrock x99m
64gb ram
8x 450gb 10k Sas drives
using the LSI MegaRaid SAS 9211
connected to the host using x520 cards.
intel 5820k
im thinking replacing the ram with ECC would be okay to make this box a solid option.
but than i read the stuff / flames about hating on consumer grade MoBo's.
So? what say you.
