Re: My lunch with Microsoft



Jordan,

I think you could easily build this kind of system with
off-the-shelf parts. First, buy a second-hand (or if money
is no object, a new) HP or Dell (engineering) workstation
(e.g. at Ebay) and equip it with a suitable removable drive
unit (e.g. https://www.cru-inc.com/hp/). Xeon workstations
are also great for virtualization, so you could easily run
e.g. Linux Centos (https://www.centos.org/) or any legacy
virtual machine on this unit.

I was going to have a *custom* tower built with all slide-in,
slide-out HDDs, for multiple OSes and greatly facilitating
backups or drive cloning.
