Okay, I took a lot of cues from one of Ockie's builds, as you might notice, but have stepped it up in the RAID dept. I haven't installed an operating system yet, but I have booted successfully. The OS to be installed will be FreeBSD 7.
Pictars:
I am re-posting this because of the massive forum rollback of '07
Here is my contribution.
This is a Dell Powervault MD1000 Drive Array
RAID : RAID-50
Controller : Dell Perc 5/E
Drives : 15x 500GB (7x per set, drive 15 is dedicated hotspare)
Capacity : 5.45TB (After formatting)
It's refurbished, but its ship date is 8/1/2007 so I have a 3 year warranty straight from dell for the next 3 years. Next business day onsite rules.That didn't happen to fall off the back of a truck did it? haha.
That is one beautiful array dude, quite expensive for the need (if I am assuming correctly) but one nice unit.
I think it's screaming for a rack to go in
PC Power and Cooling 510w Turbo-Cool (old skool)
RAID Level 5
RAID Controller Highpoint RocketRaid 2320 8port
5x Maxtor 320gb (Seagate Barracuda 7200.10)
Total Amount of Advertised (before formatting) 1.6TB / 1.16TB Usable
Singles Drives (if any)
1x 80gb Maxtor DiamondMax (OS, BTV 4)
1x 250gb Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 (Storage for BTV)
Rest of System Specs:
Intel Pentium D 945 @ 4.6ghz
Asus P5VD2-X
1gb Value Select DDR2-667
Gigabyte 7300GS
Hauppauge PVR-150
What kind of drive cage is that?
And also, for you guys with tons of HD's, how do you get enough power connectors from your PSU?
my "little" storage beast: HTPCylon
4X1TB drives
Each drive into roughly 500Gig + remainder
8 partitions
488.28+443.23=931.51 each X 4 = 3.726 TB usable +/-
No RAID, all TB drives, all shoved into an SFF case.
PSU: Corsair 620HX
The rest of the rig is watercooled with a quadcore, and 8800Ultra along with 4Gb of RAM.
I snagged it for $300! (I love ebay) Retail on newegg is $700.how much was that raid card bluefox?
that is kinda cool /sarcasm
Do you mean "temperature"-wise?
yah, those TBs run a bit hot: 45-55C depending on how many are accessing at the same time. They are all Hitachi's enterprise-class TBs though.
Finally replaced my stacker case with something decent
Supermicro SC846TQ-R900B 4u chasis with redundant 900W PSU
Areca 1280ML with 2GB Cache
Currently 14 Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 drives in Raid 6 (8,2TB formatted)
Scalable to 24 drives = 15TB Raid 6 storage

Just talked to my boss though, and he said I'll have my Christmas bonus Monday and I'm using that to get the remaining 12 drive bays filled with WD 1TBs
Ahh, I can finally post in one of these threads hehe.
I just recently converted my home servers to rack mount, I was tired of workstation caliber "servers" sitting on a desk so I got a rack setup. One of my goals with moving to rack was to get a nice file server chassis and make a huge file array. Well, huge to me.. after seeing Ockie's builds my 16 drive system seems small
Server is an Asus M2N-LR motherboard, Opteron 2.2ghz CPU, 4GB G.SKILL RAM, 250gb OS drive. Chassis is Chenbro RM-4140. 16 hot swap SATA drive backplane. Power supply is a load balanced 400w unit. I was a little skeptical about the low power rating but the vendor said other customers use it in that chassis with 16 drives on staggered spin up and have no problem. Sooo, we'll see. Right now I have 4 Western Digital 1TB drives in RAID5, advertised volume 2.73TB. Just talked to my boss though, and he said I'll have my Christmas bonus Monday and I'm using that to get the remaining 12 drive bays filled with WD 1TBs Once I have all 16 drives I'm running RAID6.
Controller is Areca ARC-1160ML2 with optional 1GB cache expansion and battery module. SFF-8087 connectors are very nice, only need 4 cables from the controller to the backplane.

that is quite strange indeedSecure.boy claims that setup is his, you claim it as yours...
Regardless of who's it is, it sure does look nice
