I wouldn't mind a 24SFF 380, and there's quite a few listed /with/ drives, but
I need to be patiend to find the right combination. There might be one with
16TB 10k SAS drives, but only 2x 2.0ghz 6 core processors, and then another
with no HDDs, but 2x 2.6ghz 20 core processors.

Sumsabitches know what they're doing. ;)

And on the other hand, if I were to come across a 24SFF Dell 730xd that had
exactly what I'm looking for, I'd jump on that, too. They're both about the
same as far as price range and age is concerned.

Yeah, I definitely wouldn't want that.

I don't really need a ton of storage, but I wouldn't want to run out of it,
either. I have 8TB in a raid 1 now, so 4TB usable, and I'm not even close to
filling it. I'd go so far as doubling what I have if the price was right, of
course. I could definitely get away with one unit.

Heck, if I went with a 12LFF 730xd I'd think I would be able to use the drives
I currently have, after I migrate all the VMs to the new drives. So I guess I
kinda answered my own question there.. heh, get 4 more 2TB 3.5" drives and
just add the ones I already have to the mix.

I'm in no rush, but I'll keep my eye out.

Regards,
Nick
