The top has just enough slide room to disengage from the chassis and be pulled upward. Being able to hotswap components is a requirementfor my case.
No it's just a 1U server. It does mean that the next 3U over the server can't be fully used (switches would probably clear). That server pretty much replaced my whole stack except for my NAS so I had space available.
Happy to know my redneck engineering made you laugh! It was either that or a custom water loop.
It's also way more quiet than those damn pesky 1U fans and I had the space available in my rack
While I agree shopify has a kind of "mierda touch", I still see it as if it goes sideways with them someone will just fork the code.
It is true for raid 5 & 6. Raid 0, 1, and 10 are supposed to be production ready. I use raid 10 only with btrfs, anything else and I use zfs or mdadm.
