Hey everyone! So I've been looking around on eBay at numerous used servers in the sub 300 category. Since most of these servers are on the older side they come with SAS 3Gb/s raid controllers and i was wondering if this would be fast enough for running a handful of virtual machines that will be running some small game servers and a couple of websites. If it helps One model of server in particular was the HP Proliant DL580 G5. I also might be able to get my hands on four 400GB SAS 3Gb/s SSDs.

It should be fine

 

Though for the money you could possibly build a decent server just as easily
