I got this old server and I always like to fiddle with old hardware, so I took a lot of pictures and shared them on my blog with some explaination!
Feedback always appreciated ^^

My workplace ran off DL360s (the 1U variant of this) of various generations for 20 or 30 years. I remember getting the first G5 in and being really impressed by the way the components all slotted in so easily and pretty much everything was hot-swappable. And the no-nut rail system was a revalation.
They were great systems for their time but that power consumption is crazy by today’s standards!
As for feedback, you have a very confusing sentence about 2.5" and 3.5" drives being the same size. Took me far too long to realise you meant capacity and not physical dimensions!
Yeah I have a G6 and a few G8 at home, they are nice machines, even though newer generation feel way cheaper with more plastic…
And yeah I see how it could be confusing I’ll change that ahah!
