Installing MS SQL Server on Ubuntu 20.04...

Just do this, copy past and voila. So much easier than walking someone through opening a menu...

wget -qO- https://packages.microsoft.com/keys/microsoft.asc | sudo apt-key add - sudo add-apt-repository "$(wget -qO- https://packages.microsoft.com/config/ubuntu/20.04/mssql-server-2019.list)" sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install -y mssql-server curl sudo /opt/mssql/bin/mssql-conf setup systemctl status mssql-server --no-pager

Done. With that SQL Server is installed, configured, and enabled! You can start using immediately. Try to do that on Windows!

it was something mid flight. Intel drivers seems to make the most sense.

It WAS mid-flight. That's known. What is a guess is that the driver is at fault. But I'd say that it is pretty likely.

You could comfort yourself with the fact that it's only small companies that pay the steep markup. Enterprise customers doesn't.

Grumbles well I have been running my entire server stack off of used enterprise equipment via eBay so full circle of life I guess

I'd add one thing that sometimes gets overlooked with all-flash storage. A lot of software or hardware-based storage solutions offer inline dedupe and compression that helps save even more storage with SSD.

Appreciate all of the input. This is the solution I've been leaning towards over the last week. Had an infrastructure hiccup & haven't been able to spend any time on this. But I will utilize my existing backup device for the backup disk & incorporate standard LTO-8 drive library with a rotating weekly offsite storage.

Fight - fight - fight...
