I ordered 20 Yate Loons from jab-tec wth no issues.

So how do you like the Geyser board soo far?

My NEW Server currently contains the following: * Thermaltake Armor Case with 3 120mm fans * Intel i3 core 530 <---- also have an Intel Xeon X3440 CPU * Supermicro X8SIL-F * Kingston DDR3 4gig * Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 500gig for OS * OCZ Xtreme 700W PSU * Windows 7 Ultimate 64 Bit...

That will be a good combo. I went eith the X8SIL-f and a Xeon 3440 and it is running like a champ. I just need to figure out what case to put in alot of hard drives in. At the moemnt I have 20 x 2TB WD Greens and am using 8 of them already for blurays. Blurays eat up alot of space :)...

This is the setup I was recommended by a member here and it works beautifully. The IPMI 2.0 is pretty slick too. I will be using the setup to run 20x 2TB WD20EADS drives to server blurays to 3 I3/530 Intel H57DJG setups in the house.

I myself run 2 Intel dh57JG motherboards and have zero issues. I have built 4 in total in the past month and arre sweet motherboards. I like them better than the zotac.

I am with you. I already built 2 Intel JG Geyser boards and am amazed at the power and SFF of them.

I sent you a pm on the memory for this motherboard. Thanks In advance.

Just ordered one of these motherboards for a low power server build. Thanks for the info.

How do you like hte motherboard soo far? I am thinking of buying one of these as well.

Do you know if this card suppots the Western DIgital 2TB WD20EADS drives? Also what controller is a good combination for this expander card? Sorry to hijack the thread. i have 20 drives trying to put together myself in a case.

I am not saying that Raid is a backup solution. But it is better than nothing. I have been researching the Areca with the SAS Expander and have been thinking of going that route using Raid6. I have no expereince in this area though.

Nope I am using an Intel dual port GT1000. I know it is not the card as in WIndows 7 I am seeing 80MB sec copying over my gigabit network. The same hardware is running WIn 7 and is able to transfer a bluray to the mini-itx client from 80MB to 60MB.

Yes I own all of my Blurays. I want to store them on like 16TB's too start and go from their. I tried WHS and it sucks IMO. I could only get transfer speeds of 15-20MB over my gigabit network. I get 4x that on WIn 7 64 bit. I own the movies but ripping 400-500 blurays and 1200 dvd's...

Windows if possible and budget is unlimited :).

I am trying to build a storage server for a mymovies3 server. I have been gathering hardware and bought alot of things soo far and need to see what is the best way to share the data to the other pc's. At this time I am using 4x 2TB drives on an Asus P6 Deluxe with a Supermicro AOC-SASLP-MV8...

Man I am sorry to read this. I hope you recover your data. I was about to buy an Areca card and run 8 2TB drives in Raid 5 but this is scary :(.

Did you ever get temp readings to work? I am having hte same issue and own 2 of these cards.

I have enabled successfully on 8 WD20EADS ranging from January to April dates. I have not been able to upgrade the firmware to allow APM support.

I get the same error on 2 drives I just tried. I can change the idle and turn on tler. I have several others to try but feel I will fare the same.

Did you upgrade your drives via a CD or usb?

The EADS are more expensive and yes TLER can be enabled on the EADS. I personally own 10 WD 20EADS and 4 Hitachi 2TB drives and prefer the WD ones by far. The Hitachis run pretty hot.

So you then ran the other 2 files to enable TLER and change the idle timeout value correct?

Well i have been stumped as to what to do. I have 10 of 2TB WD Greens at this time and was trying to figure out what way to go. I guess my end result is that I use RAID 5 or WHS. I cannot figure out what is causing my slow transfer speeds and not it is even occuring my my quad cpu...

Wow this is an impressive build...

I built the I7 for my new workstation and transferred the Asus P5Q over to the server case with the same seagate 500gb drive that had WHS installed and right back to 10-18MB a sec. The only difference is the video card. I highly doubt my Intel pro dual GT1000 nic is the problem. This has...

Well I own all of hte blurays so no rush to rip them all to the hard drives. I figured that my current collection alone would take alot of drives :(. So I guess starting with WHS is not a bad idea at this point. I have been using Mymovies for the past month and really like it.

Miguel, I gathered all that after going back in this thread. So NO raid for me as I will use Mymovies3 as I paid 100 for it and use the drives in a pool fashion as you mentioned. I did buy the AOC-MV8 SAS card mentioned in another thread with the breakout cables to 8 sata drives for now...

Miguel, I am trying to figure out the best way to backup my 400 blurays and 600 dvds to watch on a server in my house to serve 4 Samsung LED tv's and maybe 3 more LCD's. Soo far I am running the Asus P5Q with a quad cpu with Windows 7 Ultimate x64 and Mymovies3 installed. It works pretty...

Wow that is pretty good then. Can you post yur system setup? I am curious as I am replacing my work station as well.

Wat kind of card would I need to run 10 2tb drives in raid?

MyMovies server. Is this what you mean? http://www.mymovies.dk/ I am having a problem with the P5K Pro. What a pita that board is. I have tried reinstalling WHS on it several times with minor errors. I go and try to install it on the P5Q with no perrors and the transfer is 3x that of...

Miguel, I have been up alot of nights in the last week and read alot of your posts in this thread and you are a pretty sharp knowledgeable guy. I will try what you posted and see how I fare. Thnaks for all the advice. I will go back and try a few.

Yes I did upgrade the drivers. I even installed a dual Intel NIc server nic and still seen the same 10-18MB/sec transfer speed. The weird thing is I grabbed a second new Seagate 500gb 7200.12 and reloaded WHS on my Asus P5Q motherboard and it is transferring 60MB/sec from my Latitude...

Well I tried the install with Raid1 and it was a nogo. I gave up and just installed the OS like normal. My only problem is that trasnfering files to it I only get 15MB. My SERVER setup consists of: Motherboard: Asus P5K-Deluxe Ram: Corsair 2GB CPU: E6400 HD: Seagate 7200.12...

Thank You those are the ones :)...

I was going to use the Intel ICH10R on the motherboard but this makes sense. Thanks for the information. I am also going to use the ACO SAS card to expand 8 ports as well to run 2TB drives from.

WOW Impressive system. What is the make of the hard drive holders you are using? That is a pretty stout system :)...

The network is full gigabit compliant at this time. I am using a Netgear WNDR gigabit router and gigabit swith. I also have intel pro GT nics on my pc's at this time. I did install the leak version of vail on one of my pcs and it is pretty slick but back to reality and have to...

I am trying to build a new server to serve MyMovies3 to my 3 client pcs on my network. I am wondering if 2x500gb are enough for the system drives running raid1. I know Raid is not offically supported by WHS but I read in this thread people are doing it for redundancy of the OS. I want to...
