Optical Disk Drive to HDD Caddy
After discussing my plans on a few forums, it was recommended that I run my hypervisor (VM manager) on a flash drive or SSD. I don’t want to burn one of my drive bays on a 2.5″, small capacity SSD, and I definitely don’t want a USB flash drive hanging out the front of my SSD (even with the tiny models out now, it wasn’t worth it to me), so what do I do? I remove the blank for the optical drive from the front of my server and replace it with an SSD in a charming optical drive look-alike. Listing here.
