Have you gotten anymore hard drives?
Looks awesome. I cant wait till i upgrade my server to an athlon x2 am2, 8gb ram, 4x 500gb in raid 5, CM stacker. And how much was the areca 1280ml?
Hey, why didn't you tell me you had those 1tb GP's for sale?!?!?!?! Man I would have killed for them.
Anyways, your build is looking good. Did your mini-sas cable come with the board? EDIT: It appears as if it did. Cool beans. Well for what it's worth, you can pick them up on ebay if you would like to have another matching set.
I wish I would have known, I guess I assumed you had as many as you "needed"....
The board came with 2 sets of the mini-sas cables!! Although the onboard LSI SAS controller seems slow to me, 4x Raptors in raid 0, and I am only getting 137MB/s in HDtach, my Intel ICH8R was getting 160ishMBs in raid 0, and with only 3x Raptors!!! Cannot wait to get the Aerca!!
A man can never have enough drives. Yeah, I would have taken them all off your hands.
Very true!!
Honestly, I was not very impressed with the 1tb GP's, I had one DOA, and I thought they were slow compared to Seagate 7200.10/11s or the Hitachi 1TB drives......
Ockie: do you use more then 24 1tb drives and then hotswap them as needed, (I saw your mainbox had a backplane)??
All my boxes have backplanes Haha. Naw, I just stuff them wherever I can
What was the reasoning behind getting the GP versions over the regular?
You are confusing the RE2's with the GPs, the GP, is part of the Western Digital Green Power "program"
Apart from costing you more moeny is it really worth it, do they run much cooler?
Are you going to utilize that HARD DISK space.
What size are your raptors? are you running them off the motherboard or off the controller card? same question with your OS drives.
I now have all 20 750GB Drives, just short the controller, raising funds for it, I have some Raptors up for sale in the FS thread here on [h], check them out, need to clear some more cash!!!! Decided that the Raptors are pointless for me, when my big array will get 800-100MBps, no need for a 10k RAID 0 array that gets 220MBps....
Ahem?
ahh, well, I'll let it slide. You have 15 terabytes of storage.
Sorry if its been asked, but how does this all fit together into the house? do you stream media from that server to a HTPC by the TV?.....thats alot of Effing hard drives, i can't grasp how u get so much stuff to fill those LOL
