With it being 2U you can then pop out the motherboard and go with
anything more modern you wanted in terms of the motherboard/cpu/ram.
I would, however, also buy a LSI/Avago SAS 9207-8i card and remove
that 3ware 9750 'hardware' raid controller, which you can probably get
$200 for on ebay.
Thanks John and John. (Thank the John's!)
Seems Like I could also get an HP D2700 off ebay pretty cheap, but I'd
probably also have to buy a raid card that supports mini-sas, and I'd
have to find a computer to attach it to. Anyone with experience with
those (or similar)?
Any idea's if 15 5400 laptop drives in raid 10 attached to a D2700 would
be performant at all?
Sure, especially if you get a caching controller and use RAID 10.
That said, a single SSD will blow the doors off of it.
