Question, how is mac osx running on this boxes ?

Mine, running at this moment DSM 4.2 planning to get ZFS OpenIndiana om it, the thing is i dont get the usb stick correctly done… System 1 HP Proliant Microserver N54L Patriot 2x8GB (16GB) Seagate 3TB x4 running raid5 NAME STATE READ WRITE CKSUM...

My setup, Macbook Pro 15", iPad mini, iPhone 5

i had the same problem with my P8B Workstation... when i gave a virtual machine access to the controller my datastores where gone (selected only the sata 600 ports)... the solution is a dedicated controller (i bought a IBM M1015 and all the problems are solved)

Fractal Design R2 had two of them very nice cases.

With some modding is it possible.. but no i use one side for the motherbord and the other side is for the harddrives en psu.

Tnx ! was hard to find one :P got it importerd from Germany.

First pictures (the system is nog complete yet... waiting for the IBM M1015... First the case with only the mobo inside The boxes ESX Console

Tnx, no didnt look at that one, because i allready bought a large case to handle the disks, the other parts i selected on what i wanted to do with it.. (VT-D so i can run my fileserver virtual)

Yesterday i sold my HP Microservers... cause they where to slow for what i wanted to do with them.. So i orderded a new system with more performance + i have now VT-D what i missed in the Microserver.. What i ordered: Yeong Yang YY-0420 Asus P8B WS Intel Xeon E3-1220 Patriot 4*8GB...

Hd type: Seagate ST3000DM001, and no the case or not hot, they stand in a cooled 19" rack :)

Yes in the 2 i got i use a HP Smart Array P410 8port Sas controller.

Yup i'm using in both microservers a LaCie Moskeyto 8GB stick, but its only booting ESXi from it... i use for my datastores other disks. Just orderded last week 2 more for clustering with HA both with 2x8GB corsair sticks.

Tnx for posting ! I think im gonna buy 2 hp sticks (ecc)

Depends on your memory, we running 30 Xenapp servers with dual hexacore xeons they all got 32GB of ram and they can run +/- do 50 sessions. Memory is the key cpu is less important :)
