Hyper-converged Infrastructure implies multiple systems (think two, four, eight, etc.) of these CI nodes with all nodes being tightly-coupled with SDDC to greatly reduce the impact of a single or multiple nodes going offline.

1) It has very bad capacitors at backplane, after a year or two them could give short circuit and prevents system to power up. Easy to remove backplane or replace capacitors.
2) HDD Cage is a lack of ventilation. Any type of HDD will warm up. The only way to prevent burning of data – is removing backplane.
3) Bottom dust shield not centered with fan’s axis
4) SSD cage has all same problems as HDD cage.

Hyper-Converged architecture is a cluster architecture where compute, memory, and storage are spread between multiple nodes ensuring there is no single point of failure. This is a single board, single node NAS chassis so unless I missed something, this is anything but Hyper-Converged.

The acticle referenced by Patrick is a good start to install the software side but stopped at thing mostly all on the is drive still.

Was wondering also if the 3200$ stated price includes all the drive and ram? Is this from regular web store like new egg, etc… ? Or there was a wholesale discount of some short?

I know the article said they were SSDs but I cannot find a 4TB Seagate SSD anywhere on their site with that profile. Based on the one pic it looks like they have a hard drive controller board and room on the bottom for a spindle, so I am guessing they have to be these: https://www.seagate.com/www-content/product-content/barracuda-fam/barracuda-new/files/barracuda-2-5-ds1907-1-1609us.pdf

I built a 24 drive ZFS (Solaris 11.3) array with the 5TB version on a supermicro platform with a direct attach backplane and 3 SAS contollers and had nothing but issues with those drives. Under heavy load (was using as a Veeam backup target) the disk would timeout and then drop out of the array. All I could figure out was that the drives being SMR had issues with a CoW file system like ZFS.
