Server Hard drivers

#1 Post by ADOR »

Well my oldest boy kept on asking about wanting to try out a server that I finally got him one. Ran across one that wasn't stripped out and only cost 50.00 shipped to my door. Sun sunfire v20z has 8gb of ram (max 16gb)(Minecraft eats the hell out of the ram) and two dual core 2.2 opteron cpu's. Power supply is 100-250v so I won't have to run any kind of special lines for it. It came in on the 17th when I was loading my bags in the truck getting ready to leave for the airport. He has looked it over since then. I went ahead and ordered two caddy's for it when I got it and they came in before I left. Still researching hard drive for it right now. I see some reference to SCSI hard drive and see several used ones on ebay, but are they all pretty much the same or is there a specific one I am looking for? Any server style hard drive brand better than the other?

This will probably only be fired up on weekend when all the kids are home and some of his school friends want to play as well.

After a ton of reading it looks like I will need ULTRA 320 SCSI DRIVES, now I just need to narrow it down to 80 pin or 68 pin models.

EDIT: Looks like I need the 80 Pin model, dam ebay bay has them all mixed up, lol.

I would of Rob but it came in when I was putting my bag in the truck to head to work. I un-boxed it and then headed to the airport. I am back out on the rig now. I sent that last messages there from the villa in Bahrain. I finally found someone who was selling a lot of 5 - 36gb hard drives for 22 dollars shipped that had the ultra 320 80 pin hook up and picked them up.

I know you were a big help last time when I talked servers with you and wound up going with a workstation as a server. Still got that one going strong, but he is wanting to learn more and hands on is still the best teacher.
