Thanks, yes going to wait till it comes as I’m going to get another 16GB ram for it but waiting to see what it comes with as i see it works with ECC and non-ECC ram apparently so want to be sure i order the same. I have a feeling it may have a mini sas to SATA cable in it and the onboard is min sas port as they must know most people will raid it and use the boxes for vmware installs so would make sense but hence why I’m holding fire getting them. The cables I see some, not overly cheap but hey ho… once you start these things, you kinda just gotta keep going… at least once I’ve got it all, server should be good for 5 years at least :)
Prob will use 2 x SSD drives to setup OS on as will need to do that first, then I’m hoping I can simply remove the 2 x 2TB drives in raid 1 from gen 8 and connect up to gen 10 and it detects the drives and the mirror raid and just works as i don’t really want to copy all my VMs off again, re-setup the raid 1 and then move them all back.
