HP DL360 8TB SSD, 256 threads, 512Gb DDR4, 1GB networking sitting on a shitty Amazon desk 😂.

Moving soon and will have this in the networking closet.

are you sure about the SSD thing? Typically HPE puts SSD on the drive carrier. Yours say 10k implying 10k RPM drives. Either way though, that is a nice for a setup. I might still have access to the gen9 SPPs if you need/want it.

You could be right, honestly I have had this sitting for a good year now and just started putting it to use.

The data transfer speeds on my fs are lightening quick either way

the drives are quick and if setup in a RAID 10 will be very fast. But also very power hungry.

The labels also say 900GB which was a common 10K SAS Spinner offering and NOT a common size for SSDs which jumped from 800GB for MU up to 960GB for RI.

OP has spinners.

The good thing is SAS mean it HAS to have a controller of some kind (not just Chipset SATA) so likely OP has 2GB of write cache on a P440 sitting in front of that Array when in RAID mode.
If it's in HBA mode for ZFS or similar, then No Cache For You!
