Embedded VMWare ESXi USB Disk Part No?
Does anybody know the part no to order for vmware's ESXi on a USB disk. I know I can order this for HP servers but can I do the same for Dell?

For instance; the 2950 doesn't have the option, the 2950III does. The 2950III does it using an SD card that goes into the riser (it's a usb SD card reader built into the riser).
Some of the other servers that have the option/feature use a USB card reader with an SD card in it that's stuck into an internal USB port.
So you may want to post which exact model server you're looking at as it may or may not have this option, and if it does the model will influence what the part number would be.

Apologies for that I assumed it was just a USB stick just like the HP version. The servers are PE2950 III, PE2970 and PE1950 III. How much would these cost as I know HP sell the ESXi USB disks for £25? Do they also supply a recovery CD if the image gets corrupted as again I know that HP do?
I know the PE2970 is not listed as supporting ESXi embedded but it does support the installable according to the VMware HCL for ESXi. Would one of these also support the R300 as this does have an internal USB port aswell.
Thanks for your help much appreciated.
