You've got eight cores of work to do and you need hardware RAID that doesn't lean on the CPU for every stripe. This ST250 V3 pairs an Intel Xeon 6353P — 8 cores at 2.7GHz, 65W — with a ThinkSystem RAID 545-8i adapter running over PCIe Gen4 at 12Gb/s. That's the difference between your storage array eating 15% of your processor and sitting quietly in the background. 32GB of 2Rx8 ECC memory keeps your VMs or SQL instances from hitting a wall. The 800W PSU handles the load without blinking. It's a 2U box you slide into the rack, cable up, and forget it's there. Add to cart and get the hardware doing what it should
