          @momurda Yeah the new (well new to me been a while since i've used it) configuration caught me out a few times.

            Yeah, they still offer the Software RAID Cards but I still wouldn't use the External HBA cards.

              the External HBA cards

              are great for DAS. I use those on a few servers for MD1000s.

                Yeah, but that is not everyone doing that. Plus MD1000 are for older SANs...

                  eh? It's just extending the internal storage... externally, hence "DAS". It has tons of use cases.

                    It does, but they MD1000s were mainly setup for SAN devices in mind. Yeah they can also be attached to servers as well which is not bad either. Just not my preference, nothing wrong with that.

                      Not sure what you mean, a DAS is a DAS... MD1000, MD3000, MD1200, MD1400... whatever. They are simply (as what Dell calls them, @scottalanmiller , not me) "Server JBOD Expansions". They aren't specific to SAN use and are not SANs.

                        Okay, I am not trying to go in a tangent and go in argument with you. Why does it need to be this way?
                        Reason for me saying that mainly Dell uses it for SANs see below:

                        You still can use them for servers for user.

                          No arguing or disagreeing... I'm just not understanding where you're getting "SAN" from?
