What I find most humorous about that game is that the amount of RAM you needed is about the size of many L2 caches on many CPUs these days. Haha!

I'm running 24 2TB WD Black Drive, 64GB Ram, Dual Xeon E5-2620, LSI 9207 HBA, and 1 Intel 400GB PCI Card. I use a Intel 10GB 520 Nic with iscsi out to my vms. It honestly works so good.

We started using symantec dedup on our other san and it's working incredibly well with the ssd. I have a 90% hit ratio on L2 and 87% on L1 for that san. pretty happy!

What kind of 10GB switch is used in that environment?

I'm using a cisco nexus 5020. You can pick them up on ebay for pretty cheap! We run one live and have a second fully functioning cold spare.

You didn't happen to boot from one on a Supermicro board, did you? These just hit the shelf near me. It feels like resistance is futile.

my san has 2 2.5 hotswap bays in the back, I just put two drives in there to boot off of.
