Hi Everyone,
I have a HP ProLiant DL580 G5 at my disposal which I am considering deploying as a backup Server. My intention is to replicate my live Server to the DL580 using VEEAM Replication.
The DL580 appears to be in good working order, however I need to update the hard drives in the Server. In a bid to save some money (and with the knowledge that this backup Server will not be deployed for much more than 12 months) I am considering putting standard 2.5" drives into the Server rather than 10K SAS drives.
The DL580 utilizes an LSI SAS 1078 chipset RAID controller which I plan on connecting 8 hard drives to and configuring a RAID 10 array on.
My question is can this controller operate with the new SSHD Hybrid Drives which are available, such as the one linked below?
Western Digital WD Blue 1TB SSHD WD10J31X
I understand that TRIM support is required on dedicated Solid State Drives, and that Intel only introduced RAID0 support with TRIM from 7-Series Motherboards onwards.
Do SSHDs require TRIM support, and if so can my RAID controller provide the required TRIM functionality?
Any responses will be greatly appreciated.
Kind Regards,
Davo
