    The [H]ard Forum Storage Showoff Thread - Post your 10TB+ systems

    Ah, yeah they seem very simliar, the main difference as you mentioned was block size vs file, but disparity detects file size changes (ie: document growing or replacing media with higher def) and adjusts accordingly. I do like that SnapRaid is supported on Linux as well as a few other OS'...

    The [H]ard Forum Storage Showoff Thread - Post your 10TB+ systems

    It's a Sharkon Rebel 12, german case, it's hard to find. I found one on ebay for around $120+$20 shipping USD Thank you :) The sata-power cables and all other cabling (excess SAS cable, fan power cables and such) are all stuffed on the back side of the hard drive tower somewhat neatly...

    26 Drive - 27TB TOWER Server - Running Disparity

    Wow, that's awesome lol. I remember it was an issue when they first came out but I'm fairly certain they are better now from what I had read but I really don't NEED one so I didn't spend much time investigating it. I figure it's still relatively new technology, give it a few years and they...

    26 Drive - 27TB TOWER Server - Running Disparity

    Thank you! Thanks! What sort of pics were you looking for and I will try to take them accordingly if I don't have any already. Do you mean what the case looks like ? I use HD Sentinal, a simple program that monitors all hard disk temperature and basic health so I have notification once...

    The [H]ard Forum Storage Showoff Thread - Post your 10TB+ systems

    Thank you! :) There is, obviously it's a little tighter than a typical 4-to-3 bay adapter but it isn't too bad. I have 5 WD 1 TB Black drives at the bottom that seem to be the only ones I'm concerned about currently, they hover around 38-42 degrees. The rest of them are WD Green drives (2 and...

    The [H]ard Forum Storage Showoff Thread - Post your 10TB+ systems

    Here's my beast, just completed the other day. It's currently 16 drives including OS, expandable up to 26 currently. 27TB, 3TB for parity, 24TB of storage space! Running Disparity (see my link for a small build log and explanation of Disparity and it's features) Thank you to EVERYONE who...

    26 Drive - 27TB TOWER Server - Running Disparity

    Thanks :) Disparity is sort of limited to the speed of your OS drive and speed of the parity drive. My OS drive is pretty slow, it's an old 320 Seagate around 40-50 mb/s. The last time I built Parity from scratch, it took around 24 hours for 18TB to be protected. Further updates happen pretty...

    Anyone with serious modding experience on the Antec 1200, this question is for you. I'm looking at tearing down my Antec 1200 and making it into a full fledged server case, I need some help on whether or not this is workable based on the case' structure. What I have in mind is de-riveting...

    Looking for Full Tower for 20+ drives (lets see your mods!)

    Just not crazy on the whole Norco idea/design (even with being able to sit it like a tower, it still ugly as all hell) The "iCute 18" is a good size but has no cable management space which is a huge need for me. I've been trying to do something like in the pic I posted but I'm lacking in...

    Looking for Full Tower for 20+ drives (lets see your mods!)

    Thanks to everyone who responded, can't wait to see some pics when you have time :D Supermicro Card Generally retails for about $100, allows you to connect 8 additional drives beyond what your motherboard slots allow

    Looking for Full Tower for 20+ drives (lets see your mods!)

    I know this subject has been brought up several times (and I've looked through ALL of the threads on them). I've outgrown my Azza case (13 drives, a slightly smaller copy of the Antec 1200) and have spilled over to a 4 disk external enclosure, I'm looking to stay with a full tower as a...

    Which full tower case has the most HDD bay?

    Very nice, would you mind showing the inside of your case, I'm hesitant of this case due to lack of cable management behind the motherboard tray.

    ANTEC DARK FLEET DF-85 20 drive modification

    Sorry for reviving an old thead but this is exactly what I'm looking for! I've run out of room in my server and am wondering if you could provide some info on the metal/method you used to make those rails (and also how it's been working for you since doing it!) Any additional info you can...

    I see what you`re saying, I can definitely see that being a consideration now that I think about it. I just had a friend mention linux raid to me, would you mind giving me a little bit of info on it or if it would be better for me in my application at all It looks like we have similar needs...
