Basically we're looking for a machine with: - redundant power supply - 1U form factor - a "true" HBA mode, as we plan to use ZFS - 32+GB of RAM Knowing that we are on a relatively low budget (~6000=E2=82=AC, disks inclu= ded),=20 and that we (unfortunately) have to stick with HP, I'm looking for some recommendations.. :) Our workload is 90% reads / 10% writes, and we don't need that many IOPS. I planned to choose a machine with 4 disks in a raid10-like zpool configuration and stiick with the HP H24x HBA which are available on some models.. Any comments ? :) Thanks, Julien --=20 Julien Cigar Belgian Biodiversity Platform (http://www.biodiversity.be) PGP fingerprint: EEF9 F697 4B68 D275 7B11 6A25 B2BB 3710 A204 23C0 No trees were killed in the creation of this message.
