    Best 24+ Drive Setup

    Do i even need to flash the m1015 as i will not be using hw raid? secondly can i use one of the external ports on the chenbro 36 port expander to go to input on another chenbro expander? or can i just use both m1015 ports to goto 2 chenbro expanders? will that card really support 48 drives?

    Best 24+ Drive Setup

    I want (4) gigabit ports for streaming and transferring files through the house hold, I have 6 PCs that at any given time may be streaming or transferring files off the server. Is the 3 supermicro cards a better option than say one 24 drive Areca, i mean then i would just need 2 pcie ports

    Server / Video Encoding MB

    So i am building a fileserver, but i would like to use a Intel Core i5-2500 due to its ability to handle video encoding as i do a lot of that, but also not use a ton of power. But i am also looking for the board to have dual gigabit ports that are both intel, so i can do link aggregation (LACP)...

    ARECA Owner's Thread (SAS/SATA RAID Cards)

    Would the best bet be just to use a HP expander card in the other case and just run a cable from the external port on the areca and call it good?

    ARECA Owner's Thread (SAS/SATA RAID Cards)

    I am looking at a 24 drive rack setup and I was wondering if there is a reason to put a 6 port internal Areca ARC-1880ix-24-4G vice using a an expander card like a Chenbro and a smaller Areca card?
