I’ve been working on setting up a test lab to test Starwind’s high availability features, but I have been having a lot of difficulty with my choices of hardware. I’m curious to see what hardware others are using for either their test or production environments. Also what hardware Starwind is recommending their customers use. Any feedback is much appreciated. Thanks!
My current setup:
• PCPitstop 8 Bay SATA HDD External Enclosure using multilane connectors
• Highpoint 4311 RAID Controllers
• Seagate (ST315005n1A1AS-RK) 1.5 TB 7200RPM SATA HDD
• Dell OptiPlex 755’s with Window Server 2008 x64
I just heard that Seagate has discontinued the ST315005n1A1AS-RK 1.5 TB 7200RPM SATA HDD due to many drive failures and reliability issues. So I switched to their 1 TB drive (ST310005N1A1AS-RK) and I am still having issues with reliability.
