Hey everyone, im sitting here in order to upgrade my servers.
Or better:
To reduce the number of servers.
At the moment its three Machines:
1X ATX, 1X 4HE, 1X 2HE. 8C/6C/4C, something like 25 disks, even IDE...

Now i decided to take used HP Servers with Opteron 6xxx CPU (Socket G34)
Thats 16 Cores per CPU, comparable with AMD FX CPUs.
Two models match, its the
ProLiant DL 385 G7 (2 Socket)
ProLiant DL 585 G7 (4 Socket)

What i need:
a pair of 16C AMD G34 CPU (eg. Opteron 6272)

Drives: (having 16 2,5" SAS/SATA bays for the first)
Theres original HDD, SAS 6G in drive tray (eg. 146 GB 15K SAS 6g)
http://www.ebay.de/itm/HP-146GB-15K-6G- ... 1858861984
sure i would take any SSD, SATA or PCIE, PCIe-to-M.2,... (expensive but nice)

RAM:
PC 10600R, 8 or 16GB (have 16x4GB bars, 8 slots free)
And sure, last but not least, if u can find any "HP DL385/585 G7" spare parts for me: weee!
Controllers that run under VmWare Esx 6.5 are always welcome!
