Comment (by robe):

 We are not buying another server this year. and I don't want to throw out
 osgeo8 and osgeo9 cause they are more powerful than osgeo3 and osgeo4,
 which have been lifesavers.

 Plus there is additional headache of throwing out hardware.  I also like
 the idea of having 2 servers exactly the same so I can cluster them.  I
 can't do that with one server.  We already have plenty of power.  What we
 lack is disk space capacity to match the amount of data currently on
 osgeo7 so I can move instances to osgeo9 and osgeo8.

 With that in mind, I'm leaning toward getting 10 disks HP EG0300FAWHV
 300GB 10000RPM SAS 6GBPS DUAL PORT SFF 2.5INCH HARD DISK DRIVE

 2 would go into osgeo8 (to replace the 2 faulty disks)

 8 will replace all the disks in osgeo9

 making the two servers equivalent.

 Looking at - https://www.serversupply.com



 {{{  Each disk is $44.00, so for 10 $440
 Sub Total:
     $440.00

 Shipping:
     $0.00

 Tax(0.00%)
     $0.00

 Discount:
     $4.40

 Total:
     $435.60
 }}}

 It would be nice to have maybe something that is 600GB, but I think if
 osgeo9 had as much disk as osgeo8 we can live with that.

 As Paul mentioned, probably not worth spending tons of money like $500/
 SSD disk for these servers
