Re: my big love (modem killer)

Actually its pretty cool. My HDDs are at ~30 C
And the CPU at ~40 C

I use an Antec Nine Hundred chassie and Cooler Master modules that can hold 4x 3.5" discs instead of default 3. In front of the discs is a 120mm fan that cool very nicely.
I also use 2 sata controller cards since the motherboard can only hold 4 sata contacts.
One of which name I do not recall atm but the other one is Adaptec AAR 2610SA
Perhaps not the fastest controllers but thats not the aim either.

The UPS is a Powerware 5110 600 Watt - 1000 VA
Which can run the server for about 30mins without power.

Re: my big love (modem killer)

So how much of those ~11 TB (or prob. less depending on raid setup) are you actually using up atm?
What sort of raid setup?
Just curious. No problem with overkill, if you got a spare two grand to spend on HDs and still feed yourself, y not?

That's a lot of storage! As chipmonk010 asked what is the raid setup?

Re: my big love (modem killer)

And people think that my 6x750GB drive array is overkill! Does anyone want to send me 24 SSD drives?

Re: my big love (modem killer)

Wow... That's absolutely impressive!

I'm planning on buying an Antec 1200 and filling that up this summer.

Im using RAID5. Was thinking of raid6 but that would mean -2 disks and I thought what the hell.
Currently Im using up about 4TiB but Its growing.

Well about the feeding...Im atleast still here

edit: Im on 100/100 at the moment so no dial up here

Re: my big love (modem killer)

Just wow.  I do have plans to buy an Antec 1200 soon and then some sata drives.  I didn't know they made expansion cards for that many drives though.  How much was that alone?

Also, the Samsung SSD video is awesome, makes me wanna track down the people and go steal it .  I wonder if the 'IT' guy got to keep it to .

Re: my big love (modem killer)

I bought the card from ebay. Cost me about 65 EUR. It was brand new and six yellow sata cables with clips were included aswell.
