I have chosen hardware based on what i have on hand and what i can get for a good price. My question is about SSD's. I am not really sure what sizes, and about where they should be placed. The following is a list of my hardware.
2x Dell PowerEdge R610's
Dell PERC H200 (In each R610)
LSI 9200-8e (In each R610)
Supermicro 24-Bay 2.5" SASII JBOD Units (From iXsystems) (One connected to each R610)
Intel X520-SR2 (In each R610)
48x 900GB SASII 10K HDD's
I had planned to use the H200's and the Hot-Swap bays in the R610's for any SSD's that would be needed. By the way, this will all be connected to a Dell PowerEdge M1000e with six to eight M710HD Blades. I will be using two Dell PowerConnect M8024-k I/O Modules or two Dell Force10 MXL I/O Modules.
I would prefer to use iSCSI for the storage, but one thing that i am concerned about is that I will have a couple of SQL 2005 Clusters running on these systems. How would I go about taming the fragmentation issue or will there be one?
Any guidance in these matters would greatly be appreciated.
