I'm Curious, trying to distract myself,
How many people here are required to work from home during this?
In Ohio, IT is considered an essential service. We were working from home before the government ordered everyone to this past Monday.

DAS while slower
DAS is fast AF
But still one more hop, so slower.
In absolute terms it's on the faster side of things.
But when compared to internal local storage, it's slower. Don't confuse absolute and relative performance.
I thought DAS (direct attached storage) was the same as internal storage, it's just sitting in a box external to the server, but the Server's RAID card has a cable to the DAS chassis, which then connects to the backplanes in the DAS chassis to disk.. no different than from the RAID controller > cable > backplane in server > disk.
Where is my misunderstanding?Now the cables are longer, so maybe that's where it's slower?
Let's take a theoretical, perfectly straight, road. Is it going to take longer to drive 1 mile or 2 miles? It's basic physics. Each additional piece in the chain adds time, even if it's just an external JBOD.
Just got done setting up the good stuff at the new place 
About to tear down the computer and move everything over to my home office. Covid-19 might have put a damper on our wedding plans, but we're still getting married the end of April dagnabit.

@NetworkNerd Are either of these able to be remote?
But the biggest benefit is getting to move to Dallas!
While that would be a bonus for me, I have a fiance and new mother in law that it wouldn't go over well with

Another week, more CISA reports. Remote vulnerability in their SD-WAN software.
