@haitch said in Suggestion from the Devs on Best Storage Hardware:
Two primary miners:
Home built server, 10 * 4TB drives, 143GB SAS OS disk, 60GB SSD Swap Volume, 2 * 1TB 2.5" drives. Dual 6 core 4120 AMD Opterons, 32GB RAM. Also mines on NiceHash.com via video card (R7-370).
Frankenstein Server: HP Workstation with 32GB + 2 * 6 Core Xeon E5649, R9-280X GPU - runs VMware, miner is a VM that uses an external storage appliance for capacity - also mines Eth via pass-thru on the GPU.
Storage Appliance for Frankenstein: Head unit - HP DL380 G6 - 32GB, Dual 4 Core Xeons, Internal Storage: 143GB SAS drive for boot, 256GB Intel SSD for caching, 6 * 1TB data disks, External Storage SAS linked drive Unit - 16 drives, 60TB capacity. The head unit is running Oracle Solaris, with the storage configured as ZFS pools/volumes with the SSD as ZIL/SLOG, presented to the vMware host over 40Gb Infiniband.
Also have my CloudMiner - 13TB in my colo hosted cluster in a box. Supermicro system. 4 Supermicro blades in a 2U chassis. Each node currently dual 12 core AMD Opteron 6234 with 64GB RAM (expanding to 128 GB in next couple of weeks), 7.5TB storage. One node is setup as a storage appliance like the one above, it is used as shared storage for the cluster - one link via 40Gb Infiniband, the other two over 1Gb ethernet. The cluster runs the *.burst-team.us servers (Including this one we're on)

I want to be you some day D: How much burst do you make per day with all of that?
