That's very interesting, thank you for replying. Do you work in media/video or such? 200 TB is a lot! Also unraid is interesting, for 30 storage devices it costs a one time fee of 120 dollars, is that correct?
Yeah, used to do a bunch of video for a side project, 4k video takes up a ton of space as it turns out.
And I do believe that's the cost for unraid, can't remember if that's what I paid.
If I had to build it again I'd probably go freenas.
- Supermicro X10DRL-i
- Dual XeonE5-2620 v3 @ 2.40GHz
- 32 gigs ram
- 32 gig boot stick
- 512 cache ssd (being upgraded soon to 1tb)
- 27 8TB drives, one for parity, one currently dead that's waiting a replacement
Running Unraid which has served me well.
Thing is sitting in a lack table from ikea which this particular model they stopped making. It has a bottom shelf and came on casters.
One thing I did do right away was replace the stock cpu fans for noctuas since the server would be right next to me and noise was a big deal. Temps are a little higher than they would be with the stock fans but still within safe ranges even under load.
Im almost out of space and I don't really want to upgrade to 10tb drives yet...
Using it primarily for dev and backup.
