How about a supermicro micro tower, hot swap enabled and similar form factor. Here is an image with pricing from the mx supermicro site
Have not seen these, that's awesome. What is the hardware RAID option on those? I do love SuperMicro in general.
-
@scottalanmiller Don't thinks these have hardware raid by default, so MD raid would have to be used.
-
2 10G ports mobo and a chassis for $1400? Wow that is sweet.

Doesn't the HP Micro have Fake Raid as default?

No, but it does have an HP SmartArray software RAID option. But software RAID can't be a "default" with a hardware device, it's not a possibility.

@scottalanmiller Sorry, poor choice of words. I ment to say, the HP Micro didn't have a dedicated hardware raid card in the initial configuration.
The super Micro also has fake raid.
And the motherboard list this as tested as compatible cards:
Don't really know how good any of those cards are, I have actually never used a raid card. I have only used MD raid.

What FakeRAID does the SM come with, Intel?
-
@scottalanmiller Yes,Intel RSTe

@scottalanmiller Yes,Intel RSTe
Oh yeah, that's awful
That's why I always use MD raid, fake raid is awful.

Well yes, of course. But the SmartArray software RAID isn't bad. Has some benefits. Might even do blind swap. But that's just the Microserver from HPE.
