Improve performance of DL380 G4
One of them came with SmartArray 6i and BBWC.
I have intention of salvaging the 3.5 inches HDD from the other DL380 G4 and put them in a MSA.
Question is, which MSA is compatible? I see from the quickspecs MSA 20, 30 and a few others are compatible. But which one is suitable.
And how is it connected to the DL380 G4. I see that the DL380 G4 has a external SCSI port at the back. Is it possible to connect to a MSA?

Re: Improve performance of DL380 G4
You can use the external port on the Dl380G4, but keep in mind that this would disable the interal port 2 connection. In order to use 6 drives internal to the server, make sure the bus is set for single mode.
The MSA20 is for SATA drives.
The MSA500 would be for Shared Storage (direct attached)
The MSA1000/1500 would be for Shared Storage (fibre attached)
The MSA2000 is not compatible.

The single bus model can attach to the external port on the server and you would have access to all 14 disk slots.

Re: Improve performance of DL380 G4
Also as you mentioned, if external port is used, internal port will be disabled. This means the DL380 G4 would become quite bulky and wasteful.

If you only had a single Channel card... then you would need 2.
