  1. I am a unRAID noobie. Bought 2 each Seagate GoFlex 3Tb USB3 external hard drives with ST3000M001 drives http://www.seagate.com/docs/pdf/datasheet/disc/barracuda-data-sheet-ds1737.1-1111us.pdf from Best Buy when they were on sale for $149 each last week, had a bunch of gift cards totaling $200. So 6TB for $98! Ripped the USB3 cases off and put into my second build of a budget minded unRAID server. My first build was as a learning experience and to evaluate unRAID using 3 each 250GB hard drives. Was apprehensive concerning unRAID and the motherboard recognizing the full capacity of the 3TB drives. Preclear passed! No problems so far. The 4GB of data copied over was fine. Did a parity check and no errors. Read write through put with just the 2 each 3TB drives was in the 35-40 range from the win7 dialog box. write has since slowed a little with the other drives installed. Still need to do a rebuild check. Majority of parts came from boneyard or other computers on hand. Optiplex 760 (stable, quite, fast computer but most parts are proprietary Dell) 8ram using motherboard sata controller stock 305w power supply parity 3TB disk1 3TB disk2 2TB disk3 1TB disk4 1TB disk 5 320GB cache (pending sil card)
