scsi or sata or sas depends on the server. As I found out for my HP dl585 g1 server. I can do it. But it is costly. I have to purhcase the hot swap bay to replace the scsi bay. Then a card for sas. I would prefer the hp card. So it adds up. In the end since this is for now a play server I'm talking about. 4 73gb scsi drives are fine. I have looked for down the road upgrade and have a choice of some pci-x 64 bit cards. Fiber channel, scsi, or sas if I wanted generic external drive bay for sas.
It's good to recycle old boxes but aren't they limited in hard drive space and use large amounts of power? I've seen on craigslist old servers with 2 to 4 SCSI drives with 73Gb each. That's very little space for a storage server.
Now that is nice. Yea it is old stuff. But who cares. It works and you can get older stuff cheap. Except for the stupid 80pin scsi sca drive. I got my hp dl585 g1 server and looked into getting the upgrade to sata used or 320gb sca drive. WOw what a cost. I think they was 320gb maybe 300gb. But I didn't care. So I picked up 4 80gb drives and perhaps in a year or so I can pickup some cheap fiber drives or something and some cards for it. TTFN....
@beasy26062 why do people have old cars that just sit there are rot after a few years before they fix it. Everyone has hobbies and likes to experiment with things. In this case i wanted to teach myself how to setup a network similar to what we have in many datacenters without having to pay for new servers. If i can do it with old servers i can do it with new + i wanted to set a network up as a proof of concept for something i was trying
@cyberjackcyberjack if its just for testing yeh definitely man, i use a slower box for testing before i move everything to my production amazon servers.
SERIOUSLY?? Wow that's some seriously old and slow shit - even back in 2008 when this video was uploaded. In 2008, a couple of home made desktop PCs with external USB drives for storage would of been way more powerful than all that stuff, and a hell of lot cheaper on your monthly electric bill.
@elcaroadb yeh i do, but its not for production, its for testing only, my production servers are running on the amazon cloud but in the same configuration as what i have my servers in at my garage. If i wanna make a networking change i try to see how it effects my app locally here and then if its all good i will do the same change on the amazon servers. Its actually easier on amazon cause its just point and click for hardware config :)
Hi bomb Boy, he whole 2 racks and all the servers + the extra power points cost just under 1200 AUD ... most of the stuff was university seconds or ebay. I got lucky with the rack/monitor and UPS though ... the rack and monitor cost me a wooping 89AUD (guy just realy didnt want it) and the UPS, its 2x800WATT ex-emc cost me 76AUD off ebay, i saw the exact same ones on ebay for $799USD buy now ... i think guy just didnt know what it was ..
That cisco's going to generate a lot of noise, get a netgear or d-link instead. Nice setup btw, your garage is going to get pretty hot when you turn that all on

@idahofur Can the old servers take SATA drives instead of SCSI?

hmm now why would it make a lot of noise, And would he really care if he already has like 25 computers running anyway?
bombboy1000 3 years ago
I have actually already replaced the cisco switch anyway. Not using it cause its too big and there wasnt enough rack space
