[How are you using unRAID Server?]

Mac media storage (relocated iTunes library), Time Machine target (need to fix this after a failed drive and carelessness with the parity rebuild procedure on my part caused scattered array corruption - TM would be easier with AFP! Tried to hack it in for only a disk share but failed cause of password issues). Also, AppleTV is fed by iMac iTunes which in turn uses unRAID smb mount.

This is a Gigabyte "GA-K8N Ultra SLI" (http://www.gigabyte.com.tw/Products/Motherboard/Products_Spec.aspx?ClassValue=Motherboard&ProductID=1867&ProductName=GA-K8N%20Ultra-SLI) ...

 

It's a pretty old mobo with 8 onboard SATA ports - 4 from the NForce chipset and 4 from an added Silicon Image sil3114 controller. The NForce ports are 3gb/s, the Simg ports are 1.5gb/s. It was my Windows desktop before I went pretty much all mac + linux, and has worked well over the years - like you said, nice to have 8 onboard sata ports.

 

Yeah, I know the taped drive is ghetto, and yes - it is the cache drive. I couldn't figure out a place to mount an IDE drive - I tried a few places. Might be better for heat to stick it back by the unused power supply cables. It's the last vestige of my IDE drives.

Well, pretty common around here, and no custom 140mm fans, but I really like my new Norco 4220 setup. Replaced the jet engine fans w/quiet cheap ones from newegg (masscool).
