Spent a good chunk of today putting together a storage server for work. And by that I mean:
2x E5-2670v3
256GB DDR4 RDIMMs
2x 240GB SSD (boot drives)
4x P6300 800GB Intel NVMe drives (write cache)
12x 4TB array

...oh, and the 4U60 JBOD, with SIXTY 2TB drives salvaged from old servers. :D

Needless to say, I had (and will have) some fun with that machine. :D
