December 11, 20214 yr The question isn't clear (IMHO)... Is backup supposed to be part of it? On 11/7/2021 at 5:10 AM, ConnerVT said: A 5.25" HD floppy and a 20MB hard drive. My first (love?) had 2 x 5.25" (big) floppies and nothing hard.
January 4, 20224 yr I posted my setup a while ago, but it's seen quite a few updates since then. I consolidated the backup drives into the primary system, so it's now sitting at 378TB usable on the main array. The "unpacking" cache array is sitting at 5.1TB (U.2 NVMEs) usable space, and "containers" array is sitting at 1TB (M.2 NVMEs). All the drives live inside a 36-bay, 4U Supermicro chassis. The server is currently colocated inside a local datacenter. 😁
February 7, 20224 yr I did not read all the answers. I have 300+ TB. Is this much? Just for the future use of unraid, I could really use multi Arrays or more than 30 Devices, to go further than 400+ TB. Edit 1: the Future was faster than I expected. now +400TB Edited May 26, 20233 yr by DataCollector Edit1: I went on, now +400TB

But you GOT 388TB AND FILLED 340TB DAFUQ

June 2, 20224 yr Other than the custom case being evil... I have 3 16TB drives almost ready to replace 8's. I have to find out why one drive bay is not connecting though first.
August 15, 20223 yr 96tb, with 6 Seagate Exos x16 16TB drives. Funny story with these is that I actually ordered 14TB drives, and received 16TB drives. Warranty checked out on Seagate's website, and the drives were brand new according to smart data, so I used them and went along. Free 12TB, thanks Amazon! 🤣 Specs: Fractal Design Define 7XL Supermicro X9DRE-TF+ Xeon E5-2660 v2 (x2) Arctic Freezer 34 Esports Duo (x2) 64gb (2x32GB) 1066MHz IBM Rdimm (78P1539) Corsair HX750 Platinum. 5 pack of Arctic P12 PWM PST fans for cooling 1 Noctua A4x10 FLX for the HBA card (more info below) Drives: Samsung BAR 32GB boot Adaptec ASR-71605 with the A4x10 FLX noctua fan screwed into the heatsink for cooling CableCreation Mini 0.5 Meter 8643 Sas to Sata breakout cables Total Cost was $2511 pre tax. Personally very pleased with it. Edited August 15, 20223 yr by Evenimous added photo of raid card's fan, since photo if internals was before i added it
December 18, 20223 yr On 9/19/2021 at 12:51 PM, RecycledBits said: I got 24 8TB SMR drives for free some years back and began searching for a system that could handle them - and UNRAID was the answer. It was perfect for the role as NAS and media server here in my home. Compared to my existing NAS units I saved a lot of energi and wear on the drives because UNRAID only needed to spin up one drive and not 12 drives like on my existing NAS units. Since the start, I have upgraded motherboard, CPU, memory, HBA's and added both stronger GPU for Plex transcoding and added an external storage cabinet, but the SMR drives are still in there. The system currently runs on a ASUS ROG STRIX X399-E GAMING motherboard with a AMD Ryzen Threadripper 1920X 12-Core CPU with 64GB RAM. The GPU is a NVIDIA Quadro P2000 and the HBA's are LSI 9205-8e and LSI 9211-8i together with an HP expander. For cabinet I use an old Norco RPC-4020 and the external is an NetApp DS4246 (Cooling is terrible in the old Norco, so most drives are moved to the NetApp). I really hope we get support for extra array's soon, so I can migrate all data from my two Synology boxes as well. Besides this little setup I have approx- 160TB in each of the Synology 2412+ NAS units. is that a norco 4020/rpc-4020 did it come with those trays? or did you do some after market stuff to it? i ask cuz my backplanes have died not sure what to do with it
January 9, 20233 yr 136 TB currently but soon to be 200 TB + with my 16 TB hard drives replacing my 6=7 year old 4 TB's
January 30, 20233 yr I've had good luck finding 18TB enterprise drives for cheap, so the array has grown significantly since I last posted an update. My signature lists out the hardware, so instead, I'll share a picture of the drive breakdown shown in Unraid, plus a glamour shot of the server itself. Note: This was taken before I added the second P1000 and moved a few cards around. The server is currently colocated rather than being kept at home.

That's a lot of data!

I can't imagine needing to upgrade to that much data anytime soon, personally. I hope the upgrade goes smoothly.

External storage is connected via LSI 9207-8e HBA. This is all in one Unraid VM, although I run other VMs on this server also.
