Just search for a 2-disk 1U x86_64 (Intel or AMD) system that has room for 2 SATA drives (probably a pair 2.5" SSDs). Don't bother to search for RAID. Probably something like these: https://duckduckgo.com/?t=ffsb&q=1u+server+&iax=shopping&ia=shopping At Tue, 3 Jan 2023 17:22:13 -0500 Robert Moskowitz <rgm at htt-consult.com> wrote:> > And I am just coming up empty on my searches. > > My search foo has been really off, it seems. > > On 1/3/23 17:13, Robert Heller wrote: > > At Tue, 3 Jan 2023 16:55:40 -0500 Robert Moskowitz wrote: > > > >> Help? > >> > >> I am looking for a box I can drop Centos or one of the spinoffs that: > >> > >> Has RAID1 internal (not an external USB RAID thing) > >> ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????

I was recently searching on Google and I couldn't find what I was looking for.? I kept getting that annoying blue fishing monster.? I then went to Duck Duck Go and got what I was after.? On returning to Google and using the same exact search phrase that was returning nothing prior, I then got the same hits as on Duck Duck Go - go figure!!!
