What Are You Doing Right Now

That's the funny thing about memory that people rarely sit around and ponder. If I could record everything in your memory right now out to a disk somewhere... then I could dispose of your body. In five hundred years or in five million years I could take another body, load your memory into it and you would believe that "nothing happened" except whenever you looked at a watch, calendar or in a mirror you'd be confused because you can't figure out how you got where you were, why the time changed or why you look differently than you did - because you were "just" doing something else.

LOL - sure I understand that completely. I just hadn't considered it as part of the use case with VMs. Of course there's no reason it shouldn't work for VM's like it does for end users.

If you are on a buying spree and enjoy survival horror check out SOMA. It is by the same devs that made Amnesia. It uses this idea effectively throughout the entire game.

That was a crazy amount of activity for a good 15-20 minutes there. Amazing for so early in the morning.

Other then not having hot-swap bays... this is tempting - http://www.ebay.com/itm/HP-Proliant-DL165-G7-server-2x-12-core-AMD-Opteron-6172-48GB-RAM-750GB-HD-/221952681299?hash=item33ad692553:g:dwYAAOSwAYtWK-61

nice - could make a nice place to play with a bunch of linux VMs
I wonder how loud it is?

I am not complaining at all. And I think most everyone is having a hard time getting motivated to actually work

Very loud. I don't know if that has a RAID controller either. Those Opterons aren't the most power friendly.

definitely knew they are power hungery little beasts! no RAID? hmm.. might not be worth it then... have to drop a $400-$800 RAID controller ... hmmm.

Software RAID... the non-hotswap is an issue too but not that bad.

Can you do software RAID on the boot drive in Hyper-V or XenServer?

I'd run XenServer from a USB key and setup those drives in an MD array.

Does Hyper-V (Windows) have software RAID?

Does Hyper-V (Windows) have software RAID?
Well, a full install of Windows with the Hyper-V role definitely does. Does Hyper-V core? no clue.

@Dashrender It should, i believe you can create a windows software RAID with DISKPART

No, I wanted to see what the anti-virus solution did. User already opened the attachemnt, I most certain will be nuking from orbit.
