    Thanks PeterDB. I have plugged the rear two fans directly in the the fan sockets on the motherboard and they immediately started spinning way faster than before, so I hope this will improve the airflow through the case. 
    I receive email warnings when HDD reaches temps of over 45C, I will monitor that to see if there are any changes.

    Have not had a single warning since I plugged the rear fans in the motherboard. It has not been super hot but had a few warm days and it has held up well so far.

    I have a Gigabyte  G33-DS3R. Would your tutorial be applicable to this motherboard?

    Currently I can see under PWM controller:

    it8718-pwm1

    it8718-pwm2

    it8718-pwm3

    If I choose the first and click on detect under PWM FAN it fills it in with this text

    /sys/devices/platform/it87.656/hwmon/hwmon1/fan1_input

    I have three NORCO s500 cases plugged in the power sockets currently (4 in the system), each one of them has hard drives connected to the motherboard and hard disk connector cards.
    Are those three above the fans of the NORCOs?
    Would seem like the CPU fan is not detected.
    I have not connected the two case fans yet to the motherboard, they are just hooked up to the power cable at the moment, will try connecting to the motherboard next

    Well I am back in the thread. My setup is still working well with temperatures apart from summer.

    I have to stick a fan in front of the server to keep it cool, which is ok but not ideal, expecially when going away. 

    I get a lot of drives going above 45C without the fan trick.
    I am tempted to replace the two big fans at the back, but I only want them to go full speed in summer, so I guess I am looking for a manual speed regulator instead of a fan that senses case temperature. 
    Any suggestions?

    Last Smart Test result: Completed read failure

    Hi folks, I run out of space so I decided to used an old drive, which I added to the array.

    I have 4 Norco 500 in my server case, using two fully of them (10 drives) at the moment so I added the disc to an empty Norco.

    Unassigned devices reported 2 pending sectors, then pending sector returned to 0.

    I cleared the disk, formatted it and added it as drive 10. Then a while later reported read error, and 422 pending sectors which kept rising to 1455.

    I have attached a deep smart test, is the drive on its way or is an issue with the Norco, or an issue with the cable connection?

    Only this drive on the Norco cage and I am having these issues.

    Norco ss-500: power connections

    in Hardware

    Posted

    Hi there, I am planning to run 3 Norco ss-500 and I only have two cables with Molex connectors coming out of the power supply.

    I am using two molex per Norco ss-500, but as I don't have eough molex free for the third cage, I am planning to use a molex splitter and connect it to one of the two existing cables.
    Any objections, suggestions?

    How much room to leave on a disk?

    The point is that should the filesystem get corrupted for any reason the repair process needs space to work with or it'll just fail and your whole FS is toast.

    Better keep 50-100GB free to be able to repair the other 12TB than clog it up and risk everything breaking.

    Yes I understand, but is there a science to this that can confirm how much do we need to leave? On my largets drive 10% is over a terabyte. How much free space does unraid need to rebuild a disk etc.

    Hi everyone, this is really interesting. All of my drives are at 90% use, they range from 2 TB to 10 TB. I use the server as media repository for movies and tv series. Files are never changed, only added. Does that mean I can safely set the limit to 1%?

    This will not affect the server read performance? Don't really care much about the write side as I only write each file once.

    My free space currently is just under 5Tb.

    PS: my file system is reiserfs
