We have a Dell PowerEdge R720 and we currently have three (3) 900GB 10K RPM SAS 6Gbps 2.5in Hot-plug Hard Drive in RAID 5 for a total of 1.8TB of storage. The server has 32GB of RAM and an Intel Xeon E5-2620 CPU @ 2.00Ghz.
We would like to upgrade our drives to more storage and hopefully more speed. Looking for a total of 2.5-3.0TB of storage and could use an increase in speed, as well.
We have the 2.5" Chassis with up to 8 Hard Drives and a Dell Perc H710 RAID controller.
I would like to add new drives at a reasonable price (not looking to go under $400 but not looking to go over $4,000).
Any recommendations on which drives, what number of those drives, and in what RAID configuration to get?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!!!
