Hi guys,
I'm a new unRAID user, and I've been thoroughly impressed thus far!
I've got the following configuration at the moment:
Seagate IronWolf 8TB x 3 - 2 Data, 1 Parity
Seagate Barracuda 1TB x 1- 1 Cache
Intel Core i5-2500K CPU
Gigabyte B75M-D3H
16GB RAM
unRAID 6.4.1
Silencio 352 case
I've just recently swapped out 4 x 2TB Seagate drives for the configuration you see above. The problem is that now my drives run much hotter. If I'm doing a parity rebuild or writing to a couple of disks in the array, the drives can get up to 50 degrees.
I figured I'd just replace the case with a better cooled one, but I'm having a bit of a hard time. For a start, the 8TB drives include different mounting to what I'm finding in a lot of the cases I'm looking at.
I'd like something that perhaps spaces the drives out a bit more, or at least provides more fan coverage. Thanks!
