mrcsx Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 Figured I'd share my unraid setup. unRAID Server #1 (Kirk): Supermicro 933T-R760B 15 Bay 3U Chassis (w/760watt Redundant Power Supply) Supermicro X7DVL-E Motherboard w/ IPMI Dual Intel Xeon 5120 1.86Ghz CPUs 4GB Ram Supermicro AOC-SAT2-MV8 PCI-X SATA Controller Supermicro AOC-SASLP-MV8 PCI-e SATA Controller 3TB Parity Drive 28TB Storage (Mixture of 3TB and 2TB Drives) 750GB Cache Drive Running unRAID 5.0b12a unRAID Server #2 (Spock) Supermicro 933T-R760B 15 Bay 3U Chassis (w/760watt Redundant Power Supply) Supermicro X7DBN Motherboard w/ IPMI Intel Xeon 5120 1.86Ghz CPU 4GB Ram Supermicro AOC-SAT2-MV8 PCI-X SATA Controller Supermicro AOC-SASLP-MV8 PCI-e SATA Controller 2TB Parity Drive 14.3TB Storage (5 x 2TB, 1 x 1.5TB, 1 x 750gb) 500GB Cache Drive Running unRAID 5.0b12a Both are connected to separate APC 750 Smart-UPS's (w/ network management) and connected to a Cisco SG 200-18 18 Port managed gigabit network switch. All is housed in a Tripp-Lite 13u Rack. Both servers feed media to 2 Mac Mini's attached to TV's as well as 1 iMac and 1 Macbook Pro all running Plex. I'm already thinking of the future whether to look for a Supermicro 24 bay 4U case, or another 15 bay 3U Case for another server. I'm obsessed! Questions/Comments/Suggestions are always welcome!

bobmagnuson Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 Quite the setup! Are you running the Plex Media Server on Kirk or Spock? What about SAB/CP/SB? Bob Quote Link to comment
mrcsx Posted April 16, 2012 Author Share Posted April 16, 2012 SAB, SickBeard and Couch Potato are all running on Kirk. I actually run the Plex Media Manager on my iMac. I prefer the OSX version of the media manager rather then the web based version. Quote Link to comment
geekette Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 Where did you get that rack? I want to buy one--preferbly a little taller if possible. Quote Link to comment
mrcsx Posted May 25, 2012 Author Share Posted May 25, 2012 It's a Tripp-Lite 13U 4 post rack. I found it on ebay. Startech makes 12U and 25U 4 post racks as well, but they seem pricey (250ish+). I picked this one up for around 120 on ebay. It suits my needs for now, but I just picked up another 3u Supermicro case, so the rack is full. I'm moving next year, so I think i'll need a bigger rack for sure!! Quote Link to comment

Isn't the hardware overkill for what unraid is? You have a dual processor board there. I doubt once processor ever even gets hot. Quote Link to comment
mrcsx Posted May 28, 2012 Author Share Posted May 28, 2012 Absolutely overkill! I have actually removed one of the processors from the dual server and am planning on using it in my third unraid server. Quote Link to comment
