Yea, If you buy a 750 gig SATA drive from HP, its not a robust good drive, its a standard POS el-cheapo that's only worth 150.00 but sold for 600.00. I bought empty trays online, and went to a local store to buy some Seagate's. Its setup with redundancy, so who cares. If it was mission critical, I would use SAS and something enterprisable but I don't think it is or you wouldn't look at an aio.
I can assure you although the iSCSI support in the aio might be bad, IET's performance is incredibly good. I probably wouldn't buy one of those aio's personally, they seem expensive for what you get. That 1200 looks like it was a DL320s, heh, what a con:) jlc ________________________________________ From: Miguel Gonzalez [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, April 17, 2008 11:23 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: HP AiO 1200 storage system Can you explained what you did with the trays and the standard drives?
