I’ll post the details on the tech blog but I’m having all kinds of issues with my server and I’m not happy about it. After an update, I get a BIOS is broken error and I can’t keep up with updates. I’m a bit pissed off about it as I think I got a call from my Dell rep a month or so ago and now I’m thinking that he knew that my server was about to bomb and didn’t warn me but just tried to sell me new hardware.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I broke down and spent $1500 on a refurb server. Supposedly a Dell T430 with dual Xeon processors (16 core), 8 bay with a 710 RAID controller and 256 Gb RAM. It even has dual power supplies, 2 gig NIC’s and a DRAC card. It also comes with 8 x 4TB SAS drives but I think I’ve learned my lesson with those, I’ll have to get some new drives or repurpose my others. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I hate buying refurbished but servers last about 10 years even if mine didn’t but that’s because it’s the bare bones entry level server. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It should be in in a couple of weeks so we’ll see how it turns out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
