shat Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 Finished rebuilding my unRAID server this evening and I am currently re installing all of my applications. The copying of my media is going to take the longest. Whenever I tore it down I had to copy all of my data off to stand alone disks mounted to another machine. Hardware Specifications Motherboard: MSI 890FXA-GD70 CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 Black - Quad Core @ 3.4GHz Memory: Corsair XMS3 8GB (4x2gb) 1066 Chassis: Azza Helios 910 Drive Cage(s): SuperMicro CSE-M35T-1B 5:3 Drive Cages Power Supply: Corsair TX 750W Fans: (2) Scythe Gentle Typhoons (top & rear) SAS/Sata Controller(s): (2) IBM ServeRAID M1015 - flashed RT Hard-drives: (5) Seagate Barracuda Green ST2000DL003 2.0TB 7200RPM (3) Western Digital 20EFRX 2.0TB RED 7200RPM (3) Western Digital WD30EZRX 3.0TB Green 5900RPM (4) Seagate Constellation ES.3 ST4000NM0023 4TB 7200RPM - one for parity (1) Crucial M4 CT256M4SSD2 256gb Solid State Drive - cache drive Here are some photographs of the build. I currently have four (4) drive trays removed because one of them is connected to another machine, copying data back to the array and the other 3 still need to be pre-cleared again. In one of the photographs you will see another stack of brand new drives. These are five (5) more Western Digital 2TB RED drives that I ordered a while back. I'm waiting to find the perfect full tower case to upgrade to. Once I find it, I will put them into another 5:3 cage, which I already have and expand my array by another 10TB. Additionally, the Constellations are power hungry drives. I love them because they're Enterprise grade and I love them more because they were basically a gift from a vendor who I ordered a ton of hardware from (GPUs for Bitcoin rigs) a few years ago. They sent me a nice gift card and package that had some lovely goodies in it. At the rate I am currently copying data it is going to take quite a while. I have about 14TB or so to copy over. I also realized by looking at these photographs I snapped with my phone I need to get a can of air and spray out the workstation in the background and the side panel of the unRAID server. Its quite nasty in there... Quote Link to comment
mr.sparkle Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 I see a potential lack rack in the background Quote Link to comment
