    NAS Advice

    Thanks one more time :) Im going to try the 9220 then. The 8080 was a typo, the internal connector is SFF-8088, but i guess i will need new cables anyway. :( I saw a few brand new M1015 for $600, lol, but the used are around $125 - sounds fair for our market. Lets see if i can get this raidz...

    Hey kac77, thanks! I found two used M1015 on a store near the branch office where the server is installed. Both of them are tagged as LSI SAS9220-8i, and i couldnt find this reference on the whole LSI topic - all the M1015 mentioned there are either 9240-8i or 'rebranded' with another firmware...

    Virtualization Hardware - Need help :(

    Thanks for the feedback mates ! Im outside US, ram is not that cheap here. The difference between 4 and 8Gb is about US$300. Im glad you replied, didnt noticed the 2.5/3.5" limitation - the quoted were 2x3.5" - so no expansion avaiable. Nice point. Current servers are at least 3 years old, and...
