Mine, running at this moment DSM 4.2 planning to get ZFS OpenIndiana om it, the thing is i dont get the usb stick correctly done…

Seagate 3TB x4 running raid5
NAME STATE READ WRITE CKSUM...
i had the same problem with my P8B Workstation... when i gave a virtual machine access to the controller my datastores where gone (selected only the sata 600 ports)... the solution is a dedicated controller (i bought a IBM M1015 and all the problems are solved)
Tnx, no didnt look at that one, because i allready bought a large case to handle the disks, the other parts i selected on what i wanted to do with it.. (VT-D so i can run my fileserver virtual)
Yesterday i sold my HP Microservers... cause they where to slow for what i wanted to do with them..
So i orderded a new system with more performance + i have now VT-D what i missed in the Microserver..
What i ordered:
Yeong Yang YY-0420
Asus P8B WS
Intel Xeon E3-1220
Patriot 4*8GB...
Yup i'm using in both microservers a LaCie Moskeyto 8GB stick, but its only booting ESXi from it... i use for my datastores other disks.
Just orderded last week 2 more for clustering with HA both with 2x8GB corsair sticks.
Depends on your memory, we running 30 Xenapp servers with dual hexacore xeons they all got 32GB of ram and they can run +/- do 50 sessions. Memory is the key cpu is less important :)
New ESXI server ! and yes it is fast :P maybe i gonna change it to a Windows 2008 Server R2 with Hyper-V.....
