Boss just ordered 4 SAS drives from xbyte... but only after we got 8x bad drives (2 separate orders) from Amazon. Glad this project has time enough to wait for some working drives.

I win. Just had a talk with one of my bosses that ended with a conversation about the benefits of virtualizing our production servers.
A small step forward, but a necessary step.Is your FreePBX server currently virtualized?
Yes, what will be deployed will be a Vultr instance. Our current PBX, the Altigen thing, is a box sitting in our basement. By production servers, I should've clarified to say the servers that host our web application and database.

Sweet. Any idea what you're going to be pushing for? XS? KVM? ESXi/vSphere? Hyper-V?

@mattspeller 2 different sellers, all 8 drives showed "foreign config", which means that they were all used. Bastards. 5/8 of them instantly started blinking the orange light on the tray... DOA.

I'd be livid, that's not right man. Hope you left a scathing review!

It was bought through the CTO's account... but I'll get him to at least let me leave them reviews.

Most likely Hyper-V. Our server in our office (AD, file server, Sage) is Hyper-V. One of the production boxes actually has Hyper-V as a role to run a postfix VM.
As I do research, unless I find a compelling reason to not use Hyper-V, it seems like that would make the most sense for the environment. -

Moving always sucks.
