TechSupp Posted January 21, 2011 Posted January 21, 2011 Can someone just give me their view on a proposed new server, 400 pupils (primary) runs DHCP, WSUS, Sophos (no SIMS or email server etc). HP PROLIANT ML110 G6 TV X3430 2.40GHZ 4-CORE, 250GB SATA, 4Gb Ram 2TB SATA 7.2K RPM for data (dont have this much data but there for useage if needed) 1TB SATA for mid week backups 1TB SATA for archive of data/Photographs Weekend backups done on external NAS drive Thanks
kmount Posted January 21, 2011 Posted January 21, 2011 Are those numbers the array size with RAID or individual disks?
SHimmer45 Posted January 21, 2011 Posted January 21, 2011 personally i would look to use SCSI/SAS drives over cooking model SATA based drives usually the more enterprise level disks have a longer rated life span, also WSUS can be quite disk intensive so you will benfit imo from the faster drives
nicholab Posted January 21, 2011 Posted January 21, 2011 HP do a mid-line SAS drive 1TB/2TB but with a spindle speed of 7200rpm.
TechSupp Posted January 21, 2011 Author Posted January 21, 2011 This the one I've been quoted: HP 2TB 3G SATA 7.2K RPM LFF (3.5-INCH) NON-HOT PLUG MIDLINE 1YR WARRANTY HARD DRIVE about £400
