Save Money Buying Used Servers (Part 1) - Getting started with used servers out of the box

Bob Pellerin (CTOBOB) covers what to do when you just bought your first used server. A lot of people have asked the proverbial "now what?" after opening the box. Bob discusses what to do first before you install the Operating System, such as VMWare ESXi on the server. Want an AI to declutter your emails? Try Sanebox free: https://try.sanebox.com/dmhu2new7a5s Reasons for buying used are easy. You save money if you don't need the very latest technology or the very best processing throughput. In many cases, you will get more (Processing power, memory, drives) for your money. General recommendations: Get something that is not too old. Operating Systems like VMWare ESXi prevent using older processors and systems. This will affect you if this is for a production environment and it will limit the usability down the road. Buy new SSDs. The processors and the RAM can be used, but we generally only use SSDs (SATA, SAS, NVMe drives) that are new or that we know have not been worn out. Remember it's your data that counts in the end. Buy a brand that continues to provide firmware updates for their products without having to pay for extended support or having to open a service ticket and waste a whole lot of time. If this is going to end up in production, consider getting the remote management module. It's most likely very inexpensive with the used server. If this is going to end up in production, get a higher-end RAID controller. This will save a lot of time and provide a much better experience. The base model can be really slow in a degraded RAID situation. Get TPM 2.0 if that's an option. You'll thank me in the future. :) Be sure to check out the VMware ESXi installation videos Bob did previously on a variety of server brands and models. --------------------------------------------------- ►Get it Here: Sample Enterprise or NAS grade SSDs: Micron Micron 5210 Ion SSD - 7.68TB https://amzn.to/3ETMfMr Kingston 3840G DC500M - 3.8TB https://amzn.to/2ZQLfrN Seagate IronWolf 125 - 3.84TB https://amzn.to/38trafN Seagate IronWolf 125 - 1.92TB https://amzn.to/3My3LZk Seagate IronWolf 125 - 960GB https://amzn.to/3OFEBK5 Seagate IronWolf Pro 125 SSD - 480GB https://amzn.to/3kfF7QW ►Get Some Cloths: https://bobpellerin.creator-spring.com ►Visit Us: http://Ctobob.com ►Subscribe: https://bit.ly/2y71jrK ►Twitter: https://twitter.com/ctobob?lang=en --------------------------------------------------- *Purchases made from store links may give me some money. * (At No Additional Cost)
