New Toy!!! (server)

[Neemobeer]

Just thought I'd share the specs on my new toy.

Old toy, but still a good box too.

hmmm … now you just need to find enough data to store 42% of the 3.64tb flagship … so you have reason to upgrade to a ¼pb monolith.

What does it do... Besides making me envy you?

I have 8 1TB drives in this box in a RAID 10, I could do 8 x 4TB drives, but I don't need that much space for Linux VMs.



@ussnorway it's my new VMWare ESXI host

Nice, Neem!
It's always cool when you can upgrade part of your system.

I just broke down and ordered this:
Amazon.com: WD 8TB My Cloud Mirror Gen 2 Personal Network Attached Storage - NAS - WDBWVZ0080JWT-NESN: Computers & Accessories
A new WD 8TB NAS WITH 2 MIRRORED DRIVES. Should be here next week; I'll post back the stats as soon as I get it next week! That should effectively doubly my external storage for OSes and Customer/Test images from 8TB to 16TB.

Cheers!
