You guys have given me some great feed back. Thanks! Another question. As I try and configure this server which I'm getting for work, the key issue is its ability to have a lot of hot swappable disks. what I'm seeing these days is a migration to the 2.5" drives away from the 3.5". The problem is the 2.5" drives only go up to 1 terabyte, while the 3.5" drives go up to 6 terabytes. so what's up with this 2.5" drive bit. The literature says that they consume less power (the 2.5" drives) and are the favorite for data centers. But there's a factor of 3 difference between the storage capacity and size. so the problem is that I have very few options when it comes to buying a rack mounted server with 3.5" hot swap-able drives. there seems to be a lot more rack servers with 2.5" drive bays. Can anyone recommend a system with 16 3.5" drive bays?
