It is about time I upgrade my 4.0 ESXi box. This time instead of having external storage, I'm thinking of having everything in one and use the onboard SATA with RAID 5. What do you think of my planned setup? Any way to save a few buck somewhere? The WD Reds are my most expensive purchase. Also which RAM would be better, 1600 or 1333?
