@travisdh1 Yeah I saw that, which was why I was asking about it.

Just taking a quick look at the pricing, you can get those smaller Dell servers with 4 3.5" bays for less, at least in the US.

that's a main problem here in Italy. If you ask for a street price for dell or hpe you go cheeper then supermicro (and local SLA is better).

As long as you don't delete all my datas because my online account has issues!

Just for reference... To get StarWind VSAN you need to get here:

Thanks just that I might have some kit becoming available but they are all different Dell models, just wondered if the Hard Drive space/RAID matched that would be OK for a test lab,

e.g.
R610, 64GB RAM with 4x 600GB SAS
R410, 64GB RAM with 4x 600GB SAS

Sounds like it will work just fine for a test lab, anyways, once you get down to testing, DM me and I'll get you in touch with an engineer, who will review your environment to make sure everything will work perfectly.

See now I want to purchase more lab equipment to test this. . . .

Sorry I missed (messed up...) this one: Mom had a birthday so I had to attend the party 🙂 Thanks to everybody who took part in AFA. Great thing BTW.
