If their controllers (which are typically Xeon SoCs if I remember my dearly departed FAS2240-2) die, you are still dead in the water. They don't run standard Linux/BSD out of the box, and I am pretty sure most of the nicer features (like dual controller/seamless failover) requires licensing. This way I could have a larger array for playing with even more hard drives.Ĭlick to expand.No, Netapps, Isilons and etc are completely different beasts. Looks like a housing with 14 or 24+ backplane for 2.5" hot-swap SAS drives with double hot-swap power supplies and double redundant controllers (which look like blade CPU servers). There are SAS array SAN appliances, "NETAPP" makes alot of them.

Ok, I think I discovered what you could have been talking about - maybe. This should get me started and running for hopefully a year or two before I outgrow that again, then figure out how I would continue to insure the safety of many terabytes of data, since it isn't like I can just grab another hard drive off the shelf and back that stuff up to that while I make another new SAN/NAS storage server. What I picked out was this hp dl360 GEN 7, it has 8 SAS drive bays, (1) Xeon 5660, and PC3 ram. In the case of the NetAPP boxes, they all have dual-redundant controllers for either load balancing or backup purposes and each of those controllers are actually a whole computer system each itself with its own ram CPU's and pci bus. I was thinking I could use ISCSI initator to attach a FreeNas box to a SAS array, but that SAS array actually has to have the whole CPU/motherboard thing on it already to manage the RAID, cache, i/o etc - so, that would defeat the purpose of an external FreeNas appliance, if I had to have another machine to manage the data that was managed by the first machine. The world is not without options, I tell you. Or they have the SAS array shelf, with 40-gigabit connectors that I can wire up to an existing server with a 40gb PCI card in it, to attach the array to that, instead of combining the big array and the server into one large electric burning heat-fan itself. This way I could have a larger array for playing with even more hard drives.

Alternatively, you can install an extra P410 RAID controller card to support the second bay.Click to expand.Ok, I think I discovered what you could have been talking about - maybe. It also has an extra 4x mini-SAS port allowing a SAS tape drive to be connected. A SAS expander card attaches to the embedded ports and increases support to 24 drives.

Go for the optional software key and you can bring dual drive redundant RAID-6 into the mix.Ī second eight-drive bay can be added at the front and you have two options for connecting it. The review unit though, included the extra 256MB cache module, which fits in a dedicated slot and adds support for RAID-5. The system starts with no extra cache memory and support for stripes and mirrors. RAID sees some big improvements with the new embedded P410i controller offering a pair of SAS ports on the motherboard. Storage capacity for the D元80 goes up massively as the base system has a hot-swap bay, which supports up to eight SFF SAS and SATA hard disks.

The 5500 Series also supports triple-channel DDR3 memory and performance improvements can be had by installing them in packs of three per DIMM bank although you don't have to. This can power down a core if it isn't being used and pass this spare thermal/power headroom on to the other cores boost their speed. Hyper-Threading is back and enables each processor to simultaneously run two threads per core. Naturally, the D元80 supports Intel's new 5500 Series processors, which introduce the QPI (quick path interconnect) that replaces the aging FSB with a new high-speed backbone between the processors and the chipset's memory controllers and I/O bus.
