I've got a nice little project sitting waiting to be done. The aim is a low power backup box.
It's an HP Elite 6300 SFF, got space for 2 x 3.5" 8tb and SSD for OS (3sata ports on the board).
comes stock with:
i5-3470 (4c/4t 3.2GHz base, 77w) 240w psu
And I have a dual port 2.5gb low-profile Intel-based NIC and 32Gb DDR3. Might put an HBA in for raid on the 2 3.5" drives if I get any good recommendations.
I actually have a few of them after an office upgrade and happen to have a couple of CPUs from some retired gen 8 microservers:
E3-1265L v2 (4c/8t 2.5GHz base 45W) E3-1220L v2 (2c/4t 2.3GHz base 17W)
So I'm going to experiment with those (not 100% sure if the machines will run these 2) but given that it's just for my others to back up to it doesn't need to be a powerhouse.
Ideal setup for me would be 2 x 8Tb, OS on SSD, 2.5GbE NIC, 8/16Gb RAM and the 1220l v2.
Thats the plan anyway - if anyone has any info or experience with those cpus on that board, please do let me know how you got on ๐
If they do run the E3-1265L v2, I'll also be building a proxmox box with 32Gb RAM and another 2.5GbE NIC ๐ค
Re-do your clone, clear the suggested layout in the bottom (target) box and drag down the partitions from the source drive - you should be able to drag the right edge of tha last partition in the target bi's to use all the free space.
I'm not in front of my machine at the minute but I've done this loads of times and that's about the gist of it ๐
