garycase Posted March 1, 2017 Share Posted March 1, 2017 Yes, you indeed got a VERY good chassis. As I noted, I've been tempted by some of those deals -- but I simply don't need it and have managed to resist the impulse [at least so far ]. Quote Link to comment
ashman70 Posted March 1, 2017 Author Share Posted March 1, 2017 Yes, one of the nice things about the Norco's is the ability to swap out the fans, something I have found is not so simple to do on the Supermicro's not to mention the fans in the host swap power supplies are not changeable I believe, so certainly more flexibility in the Norco cases.

jrd680 Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 Pretty loud, I have it in my small office sitting next to me, eventually I want to move it out of my office but I need to make room for it. I have an older Intel motherboard in it, model S5500HCV and it has two quad core E5620's in it along with 48GB of ECC RAM. It all came as a package, I found it on eBay for a stupid price.How many TB do you have with your drives? Quote Link to comment
ashman70 Posted March 12, 2017 Author Share Posted March 12, 2017 Total is 107TB Quote Link to comment
jrd680 Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 Total is 107TBCool, will you then gradually upgrade disks as needed? Quote Link to comment
ashman70 Posted March 12, 2017 Author Share Posted March 12, 2017 Yes, right now the majority of my disks are 3TB, I'd like to upgrade those next from 3-4 or 3-5 depending on the cost of the disks, but as you know, the nice thing about unRAID as I can do them one at a time on my own schedule.

That's why I'm a UnRaid user, being able to upgrade one at a time! I'd do either 5tb or 6tb disks if you can afford it. Maybe put the older disks in a a backup server. Quote Link to comment
ashman70 Posted March 12, 2017 Author Share Posted March 12, 2017 The 3TB disks I want to replace were previously in a NAS and need to be retired. I'd consider 6TB disks it just depends on where the better price point is. Quote Link to comment
