March 4, 201115 yr OS at time of building: unRAID 4.5 Plus CPU: Socket 1156 Core i3 I3-530 2.93 GHz Motherboard: Intel Server Board S3420GPV RAM: Kingston ValueRAM 1 x 2 GB Case: Sharkoon Rebel 9 Economy Edition Drive Cage(s): ICY DOCK MB455SPF-B (2) Power Supply: 650 Watt Corsair TX SATA Expansion Card(s): Supermicro AOC-SASLP-MV8, PCI-Express x1 Controller Card (Silicon Image SIL3132) Cables: Some no name breakout cables from ebay Fans: An extra old noname I had laying around Parity Drive: 2 TB Green EARS w/ jumper Data Drives: 2 TB Green EARS w/ jumper, 1 TB WD Greens EADS (3) Cache Drive: 250 GB Hitachi Total Drive Capacity: 5 TB Primary Use: Media storage for HTPC Likes: The ease of expanding (redundant) storage capacity. But I guess that's the whole point of unraid Dislikes: The difficulty of expanding useages beyond the core purpose of being a storage server (For a noob) Especially considering that every off the shelf home NAS has plenty of easy to use functionality Add Ons Used: unMenu, HandBrake Future Plans: Adding more datadrives, adding more functionality, hopefully through VMware, if I am capable of it. Boot (peak):? Idle (avg):? Active (avg):? Light use (avg):? Notice the complete lack of cable order...
