Hello,
I need to buy a new Dell workstation. My old one was Dell T-7500 which had Four 3.5 inch bays so I was able to use two 500 GB HDDs & two 3 TB HDDs.
The new one I am trying to buy is T-5810 but it seems that it has only two 3.5 inch drive bays. I am not sure if it has standard built in controllers for both 500 GB & 3 TB HDDs.
I really don't want to buy 3 TB HDD from Dell unless I have to, to get the controllers & SATA ( or SAS ? ) ports for them.
I keep two 500GB HDDS & One 3 TB HDD in machine all the time.
I also regularly clone my HDDs both 500 GB & 3 TBs.
So I need at least 3 drive bays for that because I keep my OS on 500 GB HDD & use two other bays to clone both 500 GB & 3 TB HDDs.
So how should I configure T-5810 before I order it ?
Also is 825 Watt PSU good enough to run 3 ATI FirePro 2460 ( low profile, No Fan ) Video cards & all these HDDs ? My old T-7500 had 1100 Watt PSU.
Thank you
