February 21, 20197 yr Please vote- and if you think you've got the largest server capacity, attach pics!!
February 21, 20197 yr For those of us with multiple servers, I guess just vote the largest one? My test server could be close to the smallest active, it's 1TB. Doesn't even make the poll.
February 22, 20197 yr Currently at 114 TB. Starting to replace my 8 TB with 10's. Once complete 150 TB, but that will take the rest of the year I believe. Update 12-16-2019 Finished upgrading hard drives to 10 TB's. With my old 8 TB drives created a second server. 230 total TB's between the 2. I now am done. Specs are in signature. added picture of my 150 server..AKA Landfill Edit : This is my current storage and as you can see , I have upgraded to the 10 TB drives. If I do go larger next step would be to the 16TB drives. Edited March 15, 20215 yr by Harro Added info for current storage.
February 22, 20197 yr 8 minutes ago, bonienl said: I like round numbers and settled for 100 TB Me too, but currently at 99TB on my largest server (and same for the twin backup server).
February 23, 20197 yr I'm currently at 40 (excluding parity, unassigned and cache...) but I am only using 6 of the 15 case slots. if only i won a very small lotto ticket, it would be full! UPDATE 07/2022: 78TB (excluding parity, unassigned and cache...) using 10 of the 15 case slots. Finally got to the stage of mixing drive sizes! Edited July 27, 20223 yr by nasforthemass update
February 24, 20197 yr I’m only sitting at 17.5TB. I’d drop in more Drives but I currently have 6TB free so I’m not exactly needing if “yet.”
March 17, 20197 yr I'm on 28 TB Spread across 11 data drives (excluding parity and cache) Planning on swapping the 3 TB parity disc to a 4 TB, and upgrade my 5 2TB discs.
March 18, 20197 yr 72TB Backup Server + 1,5TB Cache SSD's Backup via Veeam B&R from our vSphere environment and Copy Jobs of our *.vmdk's from the environment, too.
March 22, 20197 yr 36TB with about 25% utilisation - most of it is a big 'cache' for files waiting to be uploaded to Google - about 300TB there
March 23, 20197 yr 44TB - 39,8TB in use with Movies and TV-shows - so fairly full... Edited November 11, 20196 yr by Zonediver
March 23, 20197 yr I have four unRAID servers, my largest is 141TB, if I add them all up it comes to 411TB Edited February 8, 20206 yr by ashman70
April 5, 20197 yr 160TB usable here (192TB raw platters). Norco RPC-4224 SuperMicro X10DRL-IO 2x 1tb intel 660p for cache 24x Shucked WD Red 8TB drives from BestBuy black friday last year (over 60% off the price of the raw reds) 64gb DDR4-2133 ECC nVidia Quadro P2000 Not exactly happy with my HBA situation. Currently have an IBM M1015 connected to an HP port expander. The IBM card reports the drives as "standby" even though they are spun up. And the port expander only negotiates 3gb/s links (24 drives through two 4 port 3gb/s links is down to 1gb/s total bandwidth per drive) Going to be upgrading that, but not a lot of controllers that support IT mode and handle 24 disks. I'd like to not use a port expander but may be forced to. Edited April 5, 20197 yr by Xaero

I'd like to not use a port expander but may be forced to. Even with a SAS2 or SAS3 port expander it should have full bandwidth per drive (about 125MB/s). If you get a dual port SAS2 expander that's 48gbps over 24 drives which is 250MB/s right (with SAS and PCIe overhead I guess around 200MB/s?). Edited June 11, 20197 yr by coolspot
July 1, 20197 yr Currently 193TB in a Chenbro NR40700 enclosure converted into a JBOD box attached to a LSI 9206-16e 4x 960GB NVME SSDs in a BTRFS cache Misc disk mounts for DB, Plex, Docker images, etc.
July 1, 20197 yr Have room for two more drives which would kick me barely over the 100TB mark. Maybe I can convince the wife a JBOD enclosure would be nice for Christmas this year? 😜🤞
July 1, 20197 yr I'm community-small-fry at: 24TB array (4TB duel-parity, 3 & 4 TB disks - WD reds, black, golds) 13TB used (54%). I would love to update my array, but my budget is what it is. Anyone have any youtube channels to recommend scrapping/archiving? Please direct-message replies, as this is tangent to post.
July 1, 20197 yr I have three unRAID setups now with at least 49TB each. Edited July 1, 20197 yr by aaronwt
July 15, 20196 yr My system isn't up and running yet, but my current installed, raw capacity at home is a total of about between 120-150 TB. Somewhere in there. I've lost count and it's been a while since I've audited all of my systems/servers, etc. The two new builds that I am targetting now is somewhere between 8-12 TB of pure NVMe SSD "cache" (of sorts) (using two or three Asus Hyper M.2 x16 cards and 8-12 Samsung 960 Pro 1 TB NVMe SSDs) that might sit "in front" of 12-16 10-14 TB drives. (So lowest capacity will be 120 TB raw, and highest will be 224 TB raw.) It'll depend on what's available and what can the management software do vs. what the hardware itself can do and cost of all of it. (My 80 TB (raw) server is already 85% full.)

August 1, 20196 yr 8 TB on 4 drives of various sizes and models with Parity. 22% utilized. And a 120 GB SSD cache. Edited August 1, 20196 yr by spazmc add
