Hello guys,
I'm architecting a new FreeNAS box to replace our production storage. The main reason of using DELL is their 5yr warranty. We've come with those decision since our first SuperMicro boxes suffered with those Seagate 3TB disks plagued of random deaths. (More info here: https://www.backblaze.com/blog/3tb-hard-drive-failure)
So I'm considering a PowerEdge R630 as the main server and thos MD1400/MD1420 as JBOD devices with an LSI SAS 9300-8e HBA card on the R630 to control those JBODs.
The point of this thread is to discuss if the solution is good and viable. And of course if someone runs on something similar with DELL hardware your comments are welcome!
Thanks in advance,
Vinícius.
