I'm not using desktop-CPUs in Servers, and for our default boxes (E3-1260L, 16GB Ram, Pizzabox-Case, no disks) we're paying far less that 1000 EUR. And they're ideal for using them in a rack - they consume only 60Watts average. > What do you intend to do with this platform then ? Take care : Few disks, > few IOs, especially with SATA...

I intend to run KVM on them. for automatic failover we need a shared storage. As this setup is intended to host some small webservers only I hope on using just these two servers - and not some redundant storage as well. For now the KVM-Guests are on one of these nodes with a local software-Raid1 consisting of two SATA-Disks. They perform quite well and have lot's of spare system ressources. So - I'm seeking of a inexpensive possibility to replace the Software-Raid1 with some kind of network-Raid1. regards Lukas -- -------------------------- software security networks Lukas Gradl <proxmox#ssn.at> Eduard-Bodem-Gasse 6 A - 6020 Innsbruck Tel: +43-512-214040-0 Fax: +43-512-214040-21 --------------------------
