My proposal is to buy 4 of these 1 1.2TB 10K SAS 2.5" 6G Server Hard
Drives.
Which are stated to be compatible with our server HP DL360 G6.
They are refurbished and not HP brand, thus much cheaper than new drives.
But newer HP drives would be a waste of money as they are in the $300-$600
range for each server and these are old servers.
So cost would be
$33*4 = $132
2 will go into osgeo8
and remaining 2 will go into osgeo9
If these work fine after a month or so then we get 12 more for an additional
$396.
I have dismissed SSD drives since that would require SATA.
+1
Also would like to hear if anyone else has opinions on matter since I'm not
that knowledgeable about hardware.

I suppose at that price for 2x drives to try that's fine.
