The nice thing about the HC2 is the fact that it can power the attached SATA disk and itself through one barrel connector and includes a stackable case to mount the disk and act as a heat sink. Would have been so easy to stack those up and use fewer cables/power adapters to do it.

Nice! Would you mind describing your setup in more detail? It's encouraging to hear this works on arm (I wasn't sure if that was still supported). I'm also curious how you manage all the power supplies, cables and disks. Assuming you're using external 3.5" USB 3 disks that require their own power, you're already at 8 power adapters for just 4 nodes. > There are sometimes issues with the released ARM packages (frequently crc32 doesn;'t work, which isn't great), so you may have to build your own on the board you're targeting or on something like scaleway, YMMV. Thanks, that's good to know. _______________________________________________ ceph-users mailing list ceph-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.ceph.com/listinfo.cgi/ceph-users-ceph.com
