• Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
    Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

Need help deciding.. Das/nas/San

I'm looking for a solution for my vsphere boxes but can't seem to make up my mind. This is for my home lab

Here's my hardware laying around:
16x hitachi deskstar sata 3TB 6Gbps
8x Seagte 1TB 3Gbps
2x OCZ Vertix4 256GB 6Gbps
Chenbro expander 32 port 6Gbps
Norco 24 bay case
Raid controller 1 - IBM M5015 with advanced feature key / BBU
Raid controller 2 - IBM M1004 no BBU flashed IT mode
2x Mellonox connectx2 dual 10GbE
Cisco 3750x switch with 4 10GbE SFP ports / 48 1Gbe ports

Originally I was using everything for one big raid5 datastore for shits and giggles connected directly, then I starting looking into VSA solutions trying to split the volume. But performance was poor not in speed, but in terms of how many vms could read and write to the single datastore at the same time. Right now I'm looking at multiple raid volumes with cachecade enabled, I just can't seem to find a good choice for myself, I'm running about 150 vms. Thaks
