a12vman Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 (edited) Hi Everyone- I am trying to replace my aging poweredge 320 server(Celeron 2.4 & 4GB Ram). I currently have the case maxed w 6 tb parity and 14 tb data. This machine has served me well for the last 10 years but it is getting long in the tooth. I would like to add a few more drives and also interested in the Docker Containers. Any opinons on a Poweredge T710 with the following: 2x Intel Xeon E5640 @ 2.67ghz 4-Core 12GB ram (6x 2GB PC3L-10600E) Perc 6/I raid controller 8x 3.5″ backplane Thanks in Advance, a12vman Edited October 7, 2018 by a12vman Quote Link to comment
ashman70 Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 The perc 6i is going to be a problem mostly because it doesn't support drives larger than 2TB, so you are going to want to look for a replacement, something like a Dell H200 or H310, but you would have to get the H310 flashed to IT mode.
