Just got my new fileserver online

[The Watcher]

this sucker holds 21 hard drives, 23 if i want to get creative

sounds like an airport is now in my study however

[Big B]

so you have 21 drives in there now? whats your raid look like?

[The Watcher]

i have 16 in there at the moment, adding them one after the other

my raid is all done using unRAID (www.lime-technology.com), linux OS that runs off a flash drive using a dedicated parity drive. my parity drive is currently 2TB.

the best thing about it is all the drives can be different sizes etc, can't really do that with anything else

[Big B]

jobd? how big is it now?

[The Watcher]

12tb atm, should be around 17tb this weekend

[Big B]

[J.D. Wykid, Esq.]

[The Watcher]

i have 12tb now, and about another 5tb sitting on some external hard drives that i need to move over

the other specs, quad core e8600, 2gb ram, supermicro c2see motherboard
