T800's unRAID Server

Thanx T800

Like I said I am considering your case.... for reasons of moving.
http://www.computersalg.dk/produkt/73439...-pearl-usb

Can you make sure... its that one right?

It's cool in black pearl....

They have it! and many things!

I don't want to carry many things when I move....

So as you said max is X16 drives....

Mobo then.... since I have the same mobo....

If you buy the 8 sata port for the x16 PCIe
2 for the x1 PCIe
and the 6 onboard sata's

That is 16 drives.... Perfect...

Oh cool I see also you are running the 430W supply on a full case....

That means I am ok with my 520W supply.

That looks right to me. I have the Titanium one because black wasn't in stock or too expensive when I got mine. It's only the front door that is different.

Correct on the SATA ports.

Your 520w should be fine.

I got some more picks the other day when i was fiddling (taking a pre-cleared drive out of the movie server to add to the TV Show server), pics are not brilliant but I don't move the movie server unless I have to as it's very heavy (as you can see by the shelf starting to bend!).

The noisy corner where servers and the 360 live:

Movie Server, space left for 5 more drives:

TV Show Server, two spaces left for a Music/Photos drive and general drive.

Pretty amazing setup... must of costed you a nice penny!!!!!

Thank you for the new pics......

So from your temps....

I see that you are using the:

Seagate Barracuda XT ST32000641AS 2TB 7200 RPM

and the

Seagate ST2000DL003 Barracuda Green 2TB Hard Drive - 2TB, 5900 RPM, 64MB

how you like them?

Plug and play no need to do anything else?

I have my eye on the 5900 RPM one.....

Another question for you T800.....

The bottom 6 HD's the black SATA cables from the mobo to the HD's what is the length of them? 24"?

(looks like the stock pink cable that came with the mobo it just makes it)

Going to order Sata cables..... http://www.svc.com/sata24inch.html

They have 18" cables.... or you think the 18" will reach all? (the pink one measures 20")
http://www.svc.com/sata18inch.html

I won't have the case to measure until I move and wan't to take some stuff with me.

--------------- Also can you give the dimensions of the box it came in? if you can please.

I already had quite a few Seagates so I stuck with them. Some of them are second hand some are new. I try to only use 5900 rpm drives as there is no advantage with a 7200rpm on a unraid server.

All my sata cables are whatever I had lying around nothing special.

I got rid of the box ages ago. Having a good search on google might give you the answer.
Sorry I cant be any more help at the moment, things are hectic here.
