That sounds like way to much that thing imho... I've seen inside that chassis and it's really not impressive. For that cash I would buy a couple of servers and some das, or use the cash it in a more sophisticated setup. Wow... ymmv, jlc

It does not have redundant controllers as it's essentially a server with lots of direct attached storage (up to 12 Tb) [John-Aldrich][Tile-Tools] From: Joseph L.

It looks like a DL320 I setup as a security camera DVR appliance at one shop. A bit anemic on horsepower both in the proc and controller IMHO... But that depends on the load I suppose.

Just got off the phone with a prospective vendor and that's what they recommended for a lower-cost, redundant storage appliance. I'm still thinking SAN instead of a windows server running Windows Storage Server, which I'm thinking this is. :) [John-Aldrich][Tile-Tools] No virus found in this incoming message.
