Hi all,
I'm looking at building a backup SAN system for a client, which should
be "good enough" to service the daily workload (with some loss of
performance acceptable). Currently, performance would be almost
non-existant due to using 10TB spinning drives in RAID5.
So we are looking to upgrade the primary SAN servers which have 8 x
Intel SSD's (800GB) each to use larger (1.9TB) sized SSD's. By re-using
the 16 x old Intel SSD's in the backup server (in RAID6), we should
achieve the same overall capacity as the new primary servers, as well as
allowing for an improved performance over the existing 10TB spinning disks.
My question is what is the best way to get 16 x SSD's connected in a
single system? Would I just get a 16 SATA port adapter like this:

Adaptec 1000 2288200-R (1000-16e ) 8-Lane PCIe Gen3 Low-Profile, MD2
SATA / SAS 12 Gb/s PCIe Gen3 Host Bus Adapter
4 (x4) SFF-8644 External Connectors
Or is there other (potentially more reliable under linux and/or cheaper)
that could do the same thing?
Thanks for any pointers or advice.
Regards,
Adam
