I used to run raid 6 with traditional $1800.00 raid controllers. This limited my flexibility with upgrading drives. I would have to upgrade entire arrays after copying all of my data off somewhere ( part of the reason I have multiple arrays ). I have never lost more than one drive at a time, yes it did give a little more peace of mind during a rebuild after a drive failure running raid 6. But then again with unRaid if I did experience a multi drive failure my risk is still mitigated, as only the data on the failed drives is lost. In my application (digital hoarder, I am trying to get help) I just want large amounts of protected space. I am not concerned with iops or being able to write to the array at over 300MB/s. I do have different classes of data, with a small subset of data I really care about. Some of this is actually copied across all three arrays, as well as on an off site server. An example of such data is family pictures and some (in my opinion, or my wife's) really important documents. With my experience, I have a very important rule I live by for data. If you have data you care about it needs to be in more than one place, a single disk, raid array, or physical location does not qualify. Charles.

The price of being a digital pack rat, but it is really not that bad.

Here is my little unRaid set-up. I have been running unRaid for a little over a year, and love it. I have three SuperMicro 933t cases, with a 4th on the way.

I just wanted to say these look really really nice in a rack, can't wait to add my 4th unRaid server. Still waiting on a few parts.

Wherever he is getting them from he has had at least 8 auctions with 10 or more available over the last few weeks that I have seen. Charles.

I now have four of these cases and love them.

Joe, the case comes with 760W Triple-Redundant Power Supply. I have run mine on just one before when moving power circuits around. The individual supplies are 380w. Power Supply PWS-0050M 3 SP382-TS 380W Power Modules for a total of 760W

Run the fans from your motherboard and set your throttling there., you will need to remove the jumpers from the back plane right next to where each fan is currently powered or the fan alram will be on constantly. Charles.

And the share was empty?

The fan noise is not too bad if you move the six fans to mobo ports and thermally control them. cc-

total media theater on windows, as it integrated nicely into my existing automation system from www.cinemaronline.com. cc-

If i was trying to run 48 or more drives on one server I would probably be running open solaris with zfs. But I am an unraid fan now, and have no need for more than 30tb per unraid server. Also, would hate to see the rebuild on a 90tb array raid5, or 50. cc-

For 19.99 shipped I am thinking about setting up another account to order a spare. Thank you for the heads-up on the deal. cc-

I just tried on my account it appears to work. I will update if they actually ship and do not delete my order.

I do not know about the rest of you, but this is one of my favorite cases, yes it is only a 15 drive case, but for a make offer of 165.00 and 31.59 shipping = 196.59 for 15 hot swap bays and tripple redundant 760watt removable power supplies included I can not pass up buying more. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=270648508992&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT I love my unraid Three CSE-933T cases with unRAID running And no I am not the seller.
