But it would be odd if the FBI was clueless enough to take an entire rack of servers when they were after just 1, yet smart enough to pick exactly the right drives out of a disk array. (assuming thats even possible)
- ktsmith 15y agoA single C7000 is 10U in height and can house 16 half height blades. If they are using full height blades it houses eight. A typical enclosure is 36U, 42U, or 45U so it's certainly plausible the enclosure that was seized housed multiple blade chassis and or storage chassis. In which case it's also completely plausible that the storage array for Instapaper was in a different enclosure but the storage array the FBI cared about was in the same enclosure as the blade chassis. What would be odd is if the FBI pulled out only the blades they were interested in at the data center and left everything else intact. What's much more likely is they took the entire chassis as it is in working condition so they could do their analysis. If they missed something or their warrant didn't include additional enclosures or equipment then they'll probably be back with a second warrant to collect the enclosure with all the storage arrays.
