Sorry, I’m back with yet more questions.
I have decided that for our main server that I’m in the process of planning, I am going to get a couple of SSD’s in RAID1 for the Hyper-V (on bare metal) and 2 x Windows Server 2019 STD VM’s. The server will then have 6 x 900GB SAS drives in RAID10 for all data (folder redirection and file sharing).
So, I was offered a deal to get 4 x 100GB Intel DC S3700’s (with HP firmware) for £25 each but I don’t think 92GB (ish) will be enough for what I want, so might sell them on, and get some bigger drives but wondered how much space do I realistically need?
I’ve looked at our current setup and the VM that we don’t really use (has Sage installed on it still) uses 24GB, so arguably we could get away with a 100GB drive but obviously I want enough space to grow should I need it (although I could always upgrade the drives later).
Any and All advice welcome
