Recommended Systems for DSS V6

[Tareef]

Thank you for the reply. I love HP, but seems like the last year working with Open-E on HP server, the connectivity is getting slower unless I speed a decent amount upgrading the controllers and batteries


Thanks
Tareef

hi tareef,

we use this since 1 year:
Mainboard Supermicro X8DT3
Chasis SC836
CPU 1xIntel Xeon 5550W
RAM 24GB (6x4GB)
Raid Controller Adaptec ICP Vortex 8165BR with BB 256 Cache
HDD 16x Western Digital 1TB Raid Edition 3
NIC Intel 10gbe CX4 Dual Port

Switch
2x HP 6400cl CX4

we only change our raidcontroller to areca.
because of a still not fixed adaptec driver and raid 6 error in open-e.
so dont use adaptec and raid 6 with open-e!!!
look at this thread

If DL360's and 380's are a bit pricey, what about DL180's?

You can get a DL180 fitted with twelve 3.5" Hot-Swap bays. They come with iLO as well.
