Hello and Happy new year !
I am looking forward for a few advices about the configuration of disk you would use for best performance with the existing hardware :
The plan is to use this server as as nfs datastore for 3 hosts with vmware .
ProLiant DL380e Gen8:
Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2450L 0 @ 1.80GHz
64 DDR3 ECC - can add some more if needed, have 8Gb DIMMs available
Smart Array P420 Controller 1GB cache (14 bays) - (maybe switch to HBA mode?)
12x Seagate 2TB Enterprise Capacity HD SAS 6Gb/s 128MB Cache (ST2000NM0023)
1 x 500GB SAMSUNG EVO 860 SSD
4x10Gbe network ports (each vmware host conected directly[no switch])
Also have spare disk if needed :
2x 1TB SAMSUNG EVO 860 SSD
2x Seagate 2TB Enterprise Capacity HD SAS 6Gb/s 128MB Cache (ST2000NM0023)
Thanks
