Guys I would like to build a storage server dedicated to my home ESXI/Hyperv lab. I am currently using a old cor2duo with an IBM M1015 controller with 4 500 gig Seagate Constellation ES drives passed throughusing Windows storage spaces. I am using iscsi as the storage protocol. I am unhappy with the performance in other words its dog slow. So I need to do something about this what do you guys suggest hardware wise for a build that will server my needs. I want something decent but I don't want to break the bank either so I don't care if the system is AMD based. I have been told that I can do ZFS or maybe just switch to running Centos and use its iscsi target. I am also not against testing out NFS to see if that provides better performance. I have even thought about going back to all hardware raid anyway I've had many thoughts on this subject.
