Looked at the link, I remember doing a lot of testing back then. In summary, you are buggered if the os drive fails.

I played with a 2TB work around many years ago. It works fine until you need to reinstall WHS. On a server reinstall WHS can locate and install existing storage drives, the version of the work around I tried broke this ability. It might be time to leave WHS v1 behind if you want to use...

Is this WHS v1? If so, you are limited to 2TB drives. This limit has had me playing with windows server 2012 R2 The 4TB NAS drives work well

Looking to buy a host bus adapter. narrowed down to the LSI 9300-8i or the Adaptec 7805H the LSI is the front runner at the moment LSI 9300-8i Adaptec 7805H I don't "need" miniSAS or 12Gb/s, but miniSAS seems neater and "future proof". Any recommendations? LSI or Adaptec? Thanks.

that's the guide I originally followed

I believe you could use a >2TB drive in WHSv1, but the drive will be limited in available capacity. that said, I have a five drive raid 6 array in my WHSv1 box. however, the array is not added to WHS this is the console just after adding the raid 6 array to the box

Whs v1 won't natively recognise anything greater than 2TB. There was a work around discussed a long time ago. There was a limitation of the work around, but damned if i can remember it.

just received a Seagate 4TB tested in two computers neither of which detect it newest of the two computers has a supermicro C7SIM-Q mobo, do I need a more recent motherboard to use a 4TB drive? incidentally, the drive failed seatools

and this one... what case? are there many other case with 12 5.25inch bays?

what case is this?

please delete

yup, may it rest in peace heck, even my server has changed significantly since its entry in the thread nice though that the thread was remembered, must have been some use at the time.

this is the W/TB thread, hasn't seen any recent posts, but might still be useful for the OP http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1430901

the raid card screams

For me, little hassle. Logon to server console and identify failed drive Shut down server and remove failed drive Remove failed drive from its caddy and replace with a fresh drive (i have spares) Replace new drive Reboot server Start rebuild Send failed drive back to seagate

1) IDE will work fine. 2) Probably not. I didn't bother. 3) No. Install WHS then add Intel card. WHS may prompt for drivers. Use Server 2003 drivers or, if not available, XP drivers may work. 4) You need the 8off pool drives? Probably not. You could be anal and "long" format them...

I used a mid-desktop case for size. When I started the build it was a very simple build, however the build evolved. If I started again I would still take this route. The CSE-M35TQ uses 92mm fans. I purchased the CSE-M35TQB from a UK reseller.

What's the card at the bottom? Looks like an interesting way to mount two 2.5inch drives.

I have a RAID6 array on an Adaptec 5805 consisting of five Seagate Baracuda LP 2TB drives. One of the drive is being reported by the 5805 as having a SMART error. Should I be concerned yet?

here's what i did /do to back-up my photos (currently at about 1TB) OLD Into my desktop I installed two 1TB hard drives (1TB was the largest drive at the time) One hard drive was my "working drive" I then used syncback to manually mirror the working drive to a second drive I would run...

i was having problems with power management. like you, i found that when i turned off background consistency checking pm started working. is there any aspect of the host os that could be waking up the sleeping array? my array is within WHS but not added to the pool. my pool drives...

How about 25TB **OR** 10 drives

I suppose a minimum number of drives would be the best alternative compromise, however, everyone understands a capacity greater than a given threshold. I agree with you on flicking through the boring ones

Thinking about it some more the minimum entry should be 25TB Why? Because some motherboards have eight on-board SATA ports. 8 * 3TB = 24TB Perhaps start a well hard thread for those with => 25TB????

perhaps the "cost of entry" should be increased to >= 20TB i.e. greater than the storage that can be achieve with only "on-board SATA ports" (six) with the currently largest available hard drive (3TB) 6 * 3TB = 18TB and before anyone moans, that would be me out of the game... though...

I have an Adaptec 5805 raid controller. I also have an Adaptec 3805 raid controller. This controller does not support power management. The controller supports power management of a raid array. As far as I can tell, the 5805 will not power manage JBOD drives

i know the feeling i am permitted to "tinker" with the server on the understanding (threat) that I don't break it :D

Question for you... Why do you think you need v2 what is lacking in v1??? We have three 64bit win7 machines in the house with no problems with whs v1

I have an SM board in my WHS, albeit running an core i3 the safest thing to do memory wise is ensure the memory you decide upon is on SM's approved memory list. yup, it's somewhat limiting in choice, but potentially saves a lot of agro further along the line. for the record, i picked...

i started a verify with fix process on the five drive raid 6 array connected to my adaptec 5805 controller. the process took 47 hours !!! does that duration seem normal?

how much power can one draw from a fan header?

I added a raid6 array to my WHS for bulk storage five seagate barracuda LP 2TB on an adaptec 5805. BBU installed. More disk efficient than DE and the power management of the 5805 spins down the array Below are the crystal disk mark results of benchmarking the array

raid10 is two pairs of disks mirrored. Whilst raid10 can tolerate two disk failures, raid10 cannot tolerate a failed disk from each pair, whereas raid6 can tolerate any two disks failing.

the tray comes with the toshiba MBF2xxLRC hard drive bugger

thanks for your help and comments thus far I know of the icydock, looking for something significantly more vented i have the supermicro adapter. as mentioned, the adapter is designed for the rackmount trays, and as such does not match all the mounting holes on the 5into3 trays. yes, i...

All, I have supermicro 5into3 drive modules, the trays of which accept 3.5inch hard drives. Can anyone recommend a good, ideally metal and well vented, adapter to mount a 2.5inch drive into a 3.5inch tray. Something like the adapter below Can't seem to find the adapter on the web...
