    Ultra fast hard disks (12 GB/s)

    Since I use virtualisation a lot for my business site, I opted for SAS hard drives to benefit from a transfer rate of 12 GB/s instead of 6 GB/s (for SATA hard drives).

    IMPORTANT: this requires the use of a SAS controller for them to boot.
    In my case I used a "Microsemi Adaptec SmartRAID 3154-8i" controller, but you can also use a SAS HBA controller available from the same manufacturer if you wish.

    Another important point is that SAS hard drives are designed to run 24 hours a day and not to be stopped and restarted too frequently.
