Ockie? With *raid*?
Wow.
That's definitely an awesome looking case... sounds like you have a pretty good plan for it, too. I've been contemplating dropping the sat2-mv8 controllers I have for an LSI solution or something... but the rest of my system needs upgrading before that :/
With 1-tb drives, that's probably a pretty good solution. It won't be quiet like your current case, though, if that still matters.
Yeah yeah, well raid was an idea I had, not sure if these non-raid edition WD's are going to like it... although with only 24 drives, I do not have to worry about running out of drive letters as I have before.
One quick question, how much do you plan to spend on that all?
And how do you do backups with the system, RAID 5?
24 TB is crazy storage, its less of the galaxy and more of a super massive black hole.
Not hating, but what do you store on that?
Raid 6 would be the most likley candidate IMO. Backups wouldn't really exist at this point. Now if I went my traditional non-raid route, then I could use a few of the spare drives (that the raid overhead would normally consume) for backups.
24tb will suit my needs for the time being, by then I'm sure the new 1.5's or whatever will be out, so thats always an option.
isn't it time to start the 'Galaxy 5.0' worklog yet? Quit teasing us!
Yeah, I think a new worklog is in order.
