    I appreciate the offer for help :) it's almost done. I can't wait to plug it in, and start moving files from the old file server, and de-commission it.

    It some sort of mark on the plastic case the drive is in. It could be a stain, or just dirty from an old label. All the drives look clean.

    Okay, as promised... Photos again... Here we have the collection of 9 SCSI drives, part of the Craigslist deal I got last week. These are smaller drives, might not even use them for the new server, but I could use them in one or more of the older Compaq servers I got with the deal. I...

    I bit the bullet and ordered two 750GB SATA drives to start another RAID array, a copy of WHS and some SATA cables. The 3Ware 8 Port SATA cards came in the mail yesterday. They're marked the same model, but the SATA connectors are different, and some of the layout on the PCB is different. I...

    Hey Thanks! I love playing around with SCSI stuff. I just wish I could find a big ol' stash of it. I've kept my eye open all over the place to see if it's for free or dirt cheap anywhere, besides eBay. I check out the local flea markets, but nothing interesting there. I might have to travel...

    Hello All, A small update. My metal working friend has made me a dual power supply bracket, and it looks pretty good. I just have to make mounting holes to attach it to the case. I'll post some more images soon. I got the tax refund, and went and spent some money. I have a 750W power...

    A question about power supplies.... Since I'm not going to use the Lambda Ultraflex power supply, and my friend at work is making me a dual ATX power supply bracket. I was wondering if having a single rail power supply for the hard drives would be better than multiple rails? I want to get...
