hp proliant - New standalone ESXi 5 deployments - USB versus SD card?



Now that the old full VMWare ESX with service console is no longer, I'm redeploying some standalone ESXi servers. I'm using HP ProLiant ML and DL G6 and G7 servers. Does it make more sense to utilize the internal USB port for ESXi or the internal SD card slot? I'm using the HP ESXi 5 build, but am not sure what the recommended practice is. Any recommendations on cards/USB drives for this purpose?



BTW - these will be all-in-one storage servers with the onboard disk storage presented via PCIe passthrough.


Answer



I think the answer is whichever medium hp supplied the build on. I believe that they generally supply USB unless you ask for SD.
