Not much point in a price comparison like that when the prices are completely crazy.<p>For the price of that blade today you can get <i>at least</i> a 1U dual cpu quad- or hex-core server of a far newer&#x2F;faster CPU model, and with vastly faster storage (NVMe SSD&#x27;s) and 10GbE ports.<p>For 2000 euro, I could instead get a server with about a 50% faster CPU, 16GB RAM, and an 800GB NVMe Intel PCIe SSD that&#x27;d trounce that iSCSI any time. With 6Gbps SATA III drives instead, and either dropping down a bit in capacity or going for spinning rust, you&#x27;d pay ~1000 euro for the same machine.
