I'm looking for something like the PCI usb card which have an internal port on them apart from I would like to it to support SD cards Instead anybody seen anything?

hmm tricky why not an internal usb card like you've seen with a small sd card reader plugged into it?

Its for an Open-E san. I don't trust USB devices for the boot partition anymore.

 

It isn't possible to use Sata one due to the chassis.

Not unless it's a laptop he's building or the chassis has a mini pci-e slot or can adapt that to a full size pci-e slot.

I was mostly asking to make sure I was thinking of the right thing.

Thats the kind of thing. That will fit in a normal PCI slot won't it? I wonder if I can screw it into a full high plate.

 

Oh, thats cool... I have a spare slot for that in my laptop... Hello class 10 SD card to boot windows from...

 

You will kill the SD card i think - too many writes.

Just realised mount points are on the wrong side!

Yeah was thinking that but something is better than rocking horse poo :)

Oh yes appreciate that - if i can't find the SD card slot will probably go with something like this

The reason for SD card was that its a tried and test method in what we want to use it for. Whereas the above sata dom is untested.

Point taken, but for the sake of a 16gb SD and $16 I'll try it... My laptop is due for a rebuild!

 

(Does a Raspberry Pi not suffer from this? My Pi has been fine for months and months?)

thats true - i'm not sure. I have ESXI running from SD cards but it doesn't write much to them.

Didn't Open-e originally supply some kind of DOM?

 

Ben

 

Possibly but no longer. I've only been involved with it for 7 months or so.

 

They only provide the Single software now (DSS Versions 6/7 ) and its upgrade bolt on suchs as ISCSi failover.

that looks to be the jobby I'll see if i can find one new

 

Ill be honest I have never sold one so I don't have a clue who supplies them or distributes them.

Neither have we - Can't see them with C2000 or the likes think we are just going to think of another way to do it!
