      So I got a quote from xbyte, but it includes this. I had been expecting that I would just load the hypervisor on the raid 5 array and that having a seperate R1 array for the OS was an old way of approaching this. Thoughts?

      How much money does that add?

        Cost is the big factor. As a device, I like it.

              Good for what it is. Still a bit of money.

                I was under the impression that OBR was the way this should be done.

                  OBR probably makes sense at $411 to get around it ๐Ÿ™‚

                      $411 to get around putting everything in an OBR. If non-OBR was "free" we'd prefer it. Extra capacity, extra channels, that sort of thing. But it isn't free, it costs money. If it was $1 or $5, we'd basically always do it. But at $411, that's pretty steep. That is more than buying two SSDs on your own and doing it. So really doesn't make sense when just doing two small SSDs in RAID 1 isn't normally a good idea.

                          What enterprise SSDs are you buying where you get two for under $411?

                            No value in enterprise SSDs for a RAID 1 boot storage.
