July 25, 201015 yr Author Good news, it were the cables: Now that I got the correct forward breakout cables, my disks on the Supermicro AOC-SASLP-MV8 card are recognized and can be used in the array... Last night I precleared a 2TB disk and another 1TB disk I had laying around. I assigned the 2TB disk as my parity disk, and the 1TB just to the array (have ~8.5TB now). Now I'm waiting for the parity to be build and after that I can start with some basis cable management (I'm really bad at that) in the case and start replacing the stock fans of my hotswap bays...
July 26, 201015 yr Good to hear everything is fine now Ever since i saw your post on tweakers.net, ive been thinking of getting a similar build. I only got 2 questions: 1. what about the last 2 HDDs, is there any room left for drive 13 and 14 inside the case? 2. would you have done things differently if you could do it all again

I only got 2 questions: 1. what about the last 2 HDDs, is there any room left for drive 13 and 14 inside the case? 2. would you have done things differently if you could do it all again 1. There's no place in the case to hold extra drives other than the hotswap modules, so I have 2 unused SATA slots. 2. Maybe starting off directly with a rackmount server case like the Norco 4220 but with this build I really have no regrets yet. I want to build a big 20+ server in the future, but for now I'm really satisfied with my build... Btw, the initial parity build went well, but after a reboot the server ran a parity check and found about 30 sync errors. Did another parity check after that and there were 0 sync errors found. Is this something to worry about? I guess it's not so smart to give the reboot command via telnet if the array isn't stopped first...
July 26, 201015 yr I guess it's not so smart to give the reboot command via telnet if the array isn't stopped first... Correct. Rebooting via telnet is just like having a power failure, unRAID will not shut down cleanly unless you tell it to do so. It is normal that unRAID will start a parity check immediately after booting. As long as your 2nd parity check had no errors and all subsequent parity checks have no errors, then you have nothing to worry about.
April 18, 201115 yr naffie I just bought your case any chance you could post some pics of the finished product?
