  1. Recently I been seeing tons of red and purple 10 tb wd drives on ebay for $70 with cut ribon will wd warranty them ?
  2. I bet best option is netapp shelf unit or one of hp 70 drive unit https://www.aa2zsupply.com/product-p/10178.htm?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIh5_dgcve5wIVQ6MYCh17OQm0EAQYGCABEgJ3lPD_BwE
  3. There are 5tb 2.5 hard drive for 119 each in external enclosure. From reading 5tb drive seem much better. st5000lm000 is inside 5tb external slim drive I thinking about getting 24 of those and 1 tb ssd as cache.
  4. What you guys think about using 2.5" 4tb drives with unraid. I just received 25 bay 2.5" hp server DL380 G8 I can get 96tb plus 1tb ssd cache Those 4tb 5400 drives have 128 mb cache https://www.costco.com/Seagate-Backup-Plus-4TB-Portable-Hard-Drive-with-Rescue-Data-Recovery-Services.product.100295697.html https://mattgadient.com/2018/01/27/how-to-shuck-the-seagate-expansion-4tb-portable-stea4000400-and-why/
  5. I want to build new nas using sc836 X8DTI-F will it support 8tb hard drives ? I am using supermicro motherboard mbd-x11ssl-fq and thinking about getting xeon E3-1235L or is there better cpu to use. I want to run emby, couchpotato, transmission. I have 7 8tb western digital drivers and 7 4tb to 6tb drives. What you guys think 16 bays or 24 ?
  6. Looks like is impossible to find any 10tb external hard drive, what had happened. Amazon and best buy dont have any
  7. So i have installed crashplan and it is binding ivp6 instead ipv4 is there a way to edit my.service.xml and bind to ipv4 tcp6 0 0 :::4242 :::* LISTEN 9354/java tcp6 0 0 :::4243 :::* LISTEN 9354/java
  8. The server has five pin usb connector. Now if I can find perfect usb port to attach to it it would be perfect for unraid usb. the board has sata ports so more ssd can be attached.
  9. Well Dl 180 g6 sounds like jumbo jet taking of at boot up time and then is silent. There where deals on servers on slickdeals http://www.amazon.com/Lenovo-ThinkServer-TS440-70AQ000YUX-E3-1245/dp/B00L07HQTU/?tag=slicinc-20&ascsubtag=9650b02731fc4cfab5fbbc82e1508a88 Some dell server
  10. What about using decommissioned server hardware. L5630 it uses 40 watts of power and on ebay goes for 30$ there are tons of dl180se g6 for 160$ trays run for 11$ brand new on amazon. You can get dl180se g6 for around 300$ with l5630 power supplies, ram and spend the rest of hard drives. 14 x 8tb
  11. Well maybe you need to upgrade a firmware on board. I have dl380 g6 and is very quiet in my basment
  12. Can you test power supply from different system? Do you have microsystem or fries nerby?
  13. I would go with 804 case this allows for 12 hard drives making the build future proof. There are many quad core cpus from amd with 25watt draw athlon and semptron. You can buy p410 raid card for $30 and use it as jbod.
  14. I have dell Dell PowerEdge C1100 Server for sale. two quad core xeons 16gb of ram. It supports 4 hard drives 3tb+ So easy 32tb of storage and you can run vmware and etc. 250$ obo sipped to us
  15. Well I am waiting for delivery of of my HP Proliant DL180se for 159. Now I ordered two 750 watts power supplies for 30$ and p410 for 36$ L5630 (40watts) are around 30$ each. I have sas controler and sas boxes run for 50$ I can have 36 or so hard drives 8tb each. Each controller lets me setup separate drivers
  16. I see tons of Dell PowerEdge C2100 on ebay for 167$ + 50 S&H it seems that it has perc 6i so not sure if it supports 3tb+ There are HP Proliant DL180se for 150$ You need to add power supply 17$ cpu l5540 60 watts (19$) P410 for $30. It works with 14 3.5 3tb + So 12 x 8tb + parity drive 8tb it seems perfect for plex server vdr/mythtv and so on. What do you guys think.
  17. Well the drives are getting bigger so three 8tb hard drives gives you 24tb of space those drivers are 260 from seagate. Remember more drives more power draw.
  18. Do you need 20 drives? I have 105 hd 1080P movies and 30 different tv shows most of them in HD and music and few audio books and so far I only 1.7TB had been taken. I would go for low power setup amd has 25W cpus semptron 3825 quad core or athlon 2.5ghz quad 25W. I have two kvm running on semptron one arch linux for my pbx openchange/sogo and server 2012. I have node 804 that can hold 12 hard drives and has room for couple more. I paid 60$ for motherboard and cpu and case was 54$ and power supply 67$. 8 port controler card was 105$ so 300$ including ram I have nice case that supports 14 drives. I saw a deal for 5tb red drives for 180 each so if you buy 10 drives you will get 45tb of space for 2100$ If you want 20 drives fancy motherboard cpu you are looking at 1500$
  19. The case came with 3 x 120mm Silent Series R2 fans they are silent.
  20. There is Athlon cpu that is quad core 2.5 ghz and 25 wats also so I may upgrade to it . I am looking for recommendation on card for 8 additional drives.
  21. IS that drive designed for windows ? It seems that is designed to copy most accessed files to ssd. It seems to be cheaper to buy ssd drive and regular hard drive.
  22. IT does I am running server 2012 and arch linux under kvm no issues. It is running open change, doveport, sogo, freepbx under arch linux. Samba is setup as domain master. I also have torrent, couch-potato, sabnzbd and sickbeard running on it.
  23. Did you put something flat long between blue plastic and black plastice and work your way around ?
  24. I have core 2 quad with motherboard and ram for sale $85
