August 12, 201114 yr Next week finally i will build my first unRaid Server... Already Builded I am finding it difficult to find specific parts, especially the motherboard! Essentially because i want to build a green server... no more than 40 watts in idle is my true objective!! For that... AMD Fusion or Atom Ion Board is initial my first choices, than i discover the economic and the beast power provide for an i3 build. I think that i will overkill my initial and money intentions.. but it is ok Mobo : Asus P8H67-M LE REV 3.0 CPU : Intel Core i3 2100T 3M Cache PSU : Lc-Power 460W 6460GP3 V2.3 140mmn 80PLUS Corsair Builder Series CX600W V2 80PLUS Case : Nox Max (Budget Case for six disks, and more three 5.25 bays) Corsair 2GB 1333 mhz DDR3 2 x 120mm Nox Blacid Acer 1 x 80mm Nox Blacid Acer USB Pen Kingston DT100G2/8GBZ (with unRaid Server Plus) 2 x WDC_WD20EARS-00MVWB0 2TB 3 x SAMSUNG_HD204UI 2TB One older 2.5 cache drive disk WDC_WD1600BEVS 160GB FTP, Samba, XBMC Database, Sabnzbd, Transmission, Video Transcoding add-on, and maybe a cache drive in a 3.5 bay it a windows or ubuntu partition for advance setups and motherboard upgrades. And so on... Post Edit : Add the Pictures... I have hacked all the three Nox Acid fans... 5v for a quiet and silent server: It all drives spun down 33.6 watts in idle!!! Opinions and thoughts ? The article in my Portuguese Blog. In fact this is a Portuguese unRaid Build
August 14, 201114 yr That power supply seems to be a dual +12V rail model, with only 15A to power hard drives. It is fine for a small number of drives (5-6 green drives or 3-4 7200 RPM drives), but if you want to expand past that then I suggest upgrading it to a single +12V rail, such as a Corsair 430W or 500W. Everything else looks fine. I assume you'll probably want to upgrade your case somewhere down the line. I agree that the i3 is the best all around CPU for unRAID - low power, yet powerful enough to run any add-on you may like.
August 14, 201114 yr Author Big thanks Rajahal for your feedback! I will change the PSU for one Corsair Builder Series CX600W V2 80PLUS!!! My intentions is 6 disks max (5+1) and probably one more drive, a cache drive!
August 14, 201114 yr My intentions is 6 disks max (5+1) and probably one more drive, a cache drive! With the i3 and bigger power supply, you are also future proofing your build. While you think 6 is good for now, months from now you can expand to more drives.
