Add up parity + data + cache disk (if present)

Following servers:

[*]16 drives (ESXi unRAID VM)

[*]12 drives (ESXi unRAID VM)

[*]11 drives (Unraid 6.0b5a with WHS2011 VM 8 drives on passed through controller)

[*]11 drives (N40L - 7 drives external to box)

[*]7 drives (N54L - all drives internal to box - plus license all others are pro)

[*]20 drives (ESXi unRAID VM)

 

 

I have 11 drives for data, cache, and parity. I also have an SSD that is not part of the array for VM storage.

6 in total. Looking to upgrade at some point when a dedicated drive for VMs becomes a reality.  Not sure I have the capacity on my cache to do it now.

 

1 x Seagate 4Tb ST4000DM000 (Parity) (SATA 6)

4 x Seagate 4Tb ST4000DM000 (Data) (SATA 3)

1 x 128Gb SSD OCZ-VERTEX2_OCZ (Cache) (SATA 6)

11 disks, 9-1-1 config

 

 

I currently have 1 Parity, 5 Data, 1 SSD Cache, expandable up to 18 drives (15-3.5" + 3-2.5")

10 drives

 

4tb parity

2 * 4tb data

4 * 2tb data

1 * 1tb data

1 * 500gb cache

1 * 120gb ssd - outside of array as application drive

Currently have 10 drives in one machine and 15 in the other. I plan to max out one system for sure and eventually will probably swap to a bigger case so I can have a 1:1 mirror with both systems.

13 for unRAID (and counting).  But 16 if you count ESXi datastore drives.

Six drives in first server

 

Three drives in second server

 

Plus Licenses for both.

13 data 1 cache 1 parity. As high as I'm willing go without dual parity.

1 x parity

3 x data

1 x cache

1 x apps

1. ESXi server is in a Norco 4220 with the top 4 slots used in RAID5 datastore.  The remaining 16 are used in unRAID

2. Crashplan server is running the free version of unRAID as I only need parity and 1 data disk

3. Dev/Test/preclear server has parity + 4 data + cache mounted inside.  There are 6 trayless hotswap bays for preclear duty.

I've got two servers:

 

1: ESXi with 2 datastore disks, then a passed-through PERC H310 with 8 drives for unRAID 5.0.5

2: unRAID 5.0.5 bare metal with 5 disks

Server 1

1 cashe

1 parity

10 data

 

Server 2

1 parity

1 cashe

3 data

Parity: 3TB WD Red

Cache: 250GB Samsung SSD 840 EVO

Data: 2TB Toshiba + 1TB WD Green + 1TB Seagate

 

Total: 5 (I will probably be adding a 6th drive shortly as a VM drive that is not part of the array)

1 x cache, 1 x parity and 5 x data

 

Planning to increase to around 7 x data (maximum capacity)

1x WD Red 4tb Parity

totally maxed out my case now though!
