Adding Sata drives to dl380 g7 in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world
[–] papelitofeliz@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

I've read about the G7 having problems with hardware that it does not recognize. Fans increasing to 100%

The cage exposes 5 satas plus I think 2 Sata power supply. I think that the pcie hba sas + sas to Sata cables solution is the best way to go. It should allow future disks expansions pretty easily.

Wow you seem to know your stuff, I'll keep looking for the 6bay enclosure.

I'm not finding much from where I am from, but found a guy selling a really cheap MSA30 with 150gb disks on all bays. There are so many acronyms.

Do you think this would work or does it require specific disks? I have no idea how it interfaces with the server, it seems to have a network interface?

Sorry If i'm being too dense, enterprise stuff is complicated and usually not compatible

Adding Sata drives to dl380 g7 (lemmy.dbzer0.com)
 

I just got a dl380 G7 for free, with one processor. And 6 free 2.5 drive slots (2 of them are in use). I want to move my services to the new server hardware and repurpose my old media server but I'm a bit out of my depth, never worked with this type of hardware before.

  1. I didn't exactly check what processor is installed. Do you think it will be able to handle transcoding?

  2. I have a sata drive case with 5 3tb 3.5 HDDs which I used to use as storage for my media server. How would I go about connecting it? I'm happy with software raid.

I'm thinking about geting this HBA (sc08e), a couple of sas <-> sata cables and an external power supply. But it is clunky.

I also read about maybe using cable connectors for the drives in the dl380. Maybe like this?

I love the idea of having a DAS but don't want to spend that amount of money. Will keep my eyes open for one tho.

Thanks!!

Try ice, 30% fernet, 70% coke. Careful with the foam. You might like it!

Yep, there's an excellent video by Ann Reardon talking about this.

But still, why not provide server tools?

Not all games allow for that unless there's a private server developed for it. The idea is to require companies to provide those tools once the game is taken down.
