Hey,
So looking on the kijiji in my area and contacting a few sellers I've come across an interesting option. I haven't seen one of these servers in the wild so I'm checking with the best source on the internet....the [H].
A Levono RD240
CPU: 2 x e5620 Intel Xeon E5620
RAM: 24 Gb DDR3
8 Drive bays but no caddies
The seller has 6 3.5" 3Tb SAS drives that he can include. The total cost would be $600.
I was working with him on another option as well.
He has a DL380 g7
2x 6-core Xeon
64Gb Ram
16 2.5" bays, some caddies, need extension sas cables for 2nd backplane
No additional hard drives.
$390 (would swap out hex cores for 2xE5620 and lower the price to $320)
I'm trying to decide between these two systems. I'm looking for lots of storage, needs to be a little speedy, it's serving my plex server where I have a bunch of users accessing it at any one time. If I was to get the DL380 w/2.5" drives I would probably cheap out and get 2Tb 5400 RPM drives or try to find a bulk deal on 1Tb 7200rpm drives used or something.
Anyone have any experience with the RD240? Which would you recommend out of these two?
Thanks for your time!
