Hello!
I have been a netgear ultra 4 user for some time now, but the storage space is starting to run low.
So i wanted to look into building a unRAID sever with the capacity for 10+ drives which i also can expand in the future.
I have looked on the hardware compatible list and looked around the forums for information.
Now i want to try starting gathering components for the sever and want some input information on my current build/parts.
Here is what im considering buying for the server;
Build:
Components:
CPU: Intel Core i3-3220 Processor
Motherboard: ASRock 1155 B75 PRO3-M M-ATX
RAM: Corsair Dominator DHX DDR3 1333MHz 8GB
Power Supply:Corsair TX 750W PSU (old psu from my old computer)
Case: Antec Nine Hundred Midi Tower
Hard Drive Bays: Ideas appreciated !
Hard Drives: -Samsung SpinPoint F4EG 2TB (Got four of these from my old rig)
-Seagate Barracuda® 2TB
Flash Drive: SanDisk Cruzer® Fit 8GB
Expansion Card: Ideas appreciated!
So theres what i've found in the norwegian computer hardware stores, which is within my budget.
I have not looked at amazon yet but im sure theres other alternatives that is cheaper.
Like i said i want a to build a sever to store my bluray movies/TV Shows and stream to my HTPC.
Also it would be nice to have the option to expand the server size when i need to. At the moment im thinking of using about
8 drives., but want the option to expand further to 15 drives.
Does this look like a good build for a unRAID server? Any input, ideas, thoughts are really appreciated !
Im new to this but im really looking forward to use unRAID for the future!
