      Not bad. Not a huge upgrade but you can work with eight pretty well.

            If you get one and it's horrifically loud, just take the fans out and replace them - hard to find good quiet 40mm for that 2U though.

                                Look for the DL380 rather than the DL360, much better drive options. Price is typically almost the same. We have a DL385 G5. Still a good unit.

                                I have 2 DL380 G5's still in production (8 years old). I want to migrate off of them and use them as a backup applicance - but damn the drives are not cheap.
                                RAID 6 - eight 1 TB drives would cost me around $2K, and give me 6 TB of storage.

                                Makes me seriously consider other choices which cheaper drive options, but then with a chassis for them, still looking around the same cost and no compute power (thinking NAS).

                                  That's a lot considering for backup you can get a 6TB RAID 1 array for a fraction of that cost.

                                    That's my point! Of course for the DL380 G5, you can't get 6 TB drives. My machine only takes 2.5" drives, huge limitations

                                        We only use servers that take 2.5" drives anymore. More density. The backup servers we have Sata drives instead of SAS though, since it's not live data, there's only about 30 VMs bening backuped up to each backup server. Actual servers have no local storage.

                                          With 6TB drives you just need two and a $299 Synology and you have that much 🙂

                                            Plus with a new NAS you get a warranty again, even if not of the same caliber. But if parts fail, they get replaced.
