Help with my RTO dedi upgraded with dacentec (Memory + possibly HD)
I am at the end of my 12 months for RTO period at dacentec. I am probably going to not change any terms and let them take care of hardware and everything and not move to colocation model.
However, I would like to upgrade the specs buy buying the upgrades with one time cost.
Current specs: Dell CS24-TY (Similar to Dell C1100)
see: wiki
It currently has 9 x 4GB = 36 GB. It has 9 empty slots I think.
It also has 2 x 2TB HD.
I would like to upgrade my RAM to at least 64 GB (or more if RAM is inexpensive)
Questions:
- Any suggestions on the cost involved? Should I go the route of buy myself and ship to dacentec or does dacentec do it at reasonable cost already? If I should buy, recommend a memory deal?
- How many additional HD can the chasis fit?
Comments
It'll hold 2 more drives
probably best way to find out is asking them?
I remember a year ago, I read somewhere here that someone had new RTO and were able to upgrade their hardware upfront. However when I contacted dacentec at the begining of my term, I was told I need to wait a year before I could. So I am already checking with dacentec and comparing it with experience of folks from LET.
