HPE DL20 Gen10 #P17079-B21 with two EVO 2.5" SSD's running pfSense in zfs zpool

 I have a HPE ProLiant DL20 Gen10 E-2224 1P 16GB-U S100i 2LFF 290W PS Server server setup with two 2.5" EVO SSD's, running pfSense in a mirrored zfs zpool. Hardware used for this build includes:

1. #P17079-B21 HPE ProLiant DL20 Gen10 E-2224 1P 16GB-U S100i 2LFF 290W PS Server

2. (2x) Samsung 860 EVO 250GB 2.5-Inch SATA III Internal SSD (MZ-76E250E)

3. (2x) #774026-001 G10 3.5 SAS/SATA HDD TRAY

4. (2x) DSLRKIT 2.5" SSD to 3.5" SATA HDD Adapter Caddy Tray CAGE Hot Swap Plug

The EVO drives and the 2.5" to 3.5" Adapter's are non HPE and purchased off Amazon. With this setup I am even able to hot swap drives in the array and repair without reboot or interruption of service. Drive lights work. Cooling profile is still valid.

The people at ZaynTek are the best. If you need any HPE Servers or server bolt ons they should be your first stop.
