[asterisk-users] Need to pick your brain for recommendation on using 2.5" or 3.5" HDDs for Asterisk server...

[bruce bruce]

Thanks guys. Amazing feedback.

Sounds like 2.5" is a better choice for being less in size (easier access
for voicemail for example), as fast as 3.5" HDD in RPM, and allows 6 HDDs
per Node which allows more RAID choice.

However, it does come to be more expensive.

Thanks again,
