Whats the full specs? raid card? ram? Cpus?

 

But seems reasonble for a r710 and if you have a low budget.

yea id test them for sure, but seems like a reasonble deal. Check the raid card, if it has the perc 6i, there is a 2tib limit.

Easiest way to tell is the connectors the raid card uses. The h710 and other newer cards use the sff 8087 cables, where the older 6i uses the sff 8484. Look for pictures online to get a idea. Also will probably tell you in the raid card info/ on the card.

A lot of google, youtube, and then at work now. The more time you spend with servers the more random parts and facts you seem to know about.
