I have roughly 70TB of Raw Storage, But I am moving from 2TB to 4TB HDD. I am truly only at 32TB of Storage I am actually using. As for what i use it for, HD movies can eat up 30GB a movie. But as Blue Fox Mention, you will find a reason to use it. I will say double your estimate and build to...
I went with monoprice and they are awesome. Unless you need different length, i find the price to be barely that much more expensive, and shipping is pretty quick.
Reverse Breakout, is for a sata host card to a 8087 connect like using a sata host card in a Norco 4224 so you can use it's...
since you have an asus, it is likely runng at 16x 1x 1x for the other ports. I know my asus board run that as default for all my x16 pci slots. I had to go into the bios to switch it out so that my more of a 8x 4x 4x setup on board.
It depends on the motherboard. my ASUS can't flash my 9211, so i have an old ECS motherboard that I keep around to flash and updated it. so it Hit or miss, if you have a friend with a different manufacturer tries there

Most built in ESata will not do PM. so you might truely SOL. If you have that PM Device, You could check into this item that convert PM ESATA into a usb 3.0,

my Hitachi runs slightly hotter then my seagates, they are all 4TB 7200 also. I am waiting on Toshiba but all these external drives make me want to jump on them bad.:(
I am the same. Also the idea about having two drives fail, if your running a 2 drive array vs 1 single drive. If that single drive fail, so your still ass out, how is it different with two?:confused:
Ya, If you have a Frys near you and can wait. they go on sale there for around 200~@230. I got my last 4 from Frys for 200+tax. I think i can wait until they go on sale again.
one of these with a 600 celeron that let you overclock all the way to 1Ghz. :) i felt cool when I did that and I knew that the current CPU at the time were barely beating 900mhz. hahha
I think for most people like me. I rather use the break out cable, and go with a 5x3.5 drive density vs the 4x3.5 setup. So the 4x3.5 tends to not be too common.
I have no input, but I want just say I am following this with personal interested. I actually have a Degree in Economics, And I have used Sata and Spss, but I have never tried R.
I got a buddy who ask me about how to help build a system to gather all the data, and i told him it was beyond me...

I tried out whs2011 after WHSv1. I had the same reasoning you did,I end up move to 4TB drives. I didn't care for WHS2011 when i found out I was max out on ram at 8GB. I end up using Window 7 right now. You could use drive bender to get a virtual drive. I would throw drive bender on your main...
i've been having issue with my 9211-8i lately, I might as well upgrade the firmware and the drivers to see if that helps my issue. If not, I will Downgrade my bios on the motherboard, since the previous version wasn't showing any issues that I could see previously.
With Hitachi being the only player, and the fact that I can't find a Seagate Goflex 4TB anymore. It would be cheaper to pick up a few 3TB, The Price of 3TB has come down a lot after the flood, but the price of 4TB have not budge. Personally on my Server, I am trying to reduce the quantity of...
I got to check this out. I use Mymovies for the data and the artwork and the information but it always been slow as poo just to do basic editing too. sigh.
I have a dune, So i use zappiti to run on my player, but when you do individual drives, i still use mymovies. sigh.
freak, and here i was ready to get a 4224 and just keep adding more hard drive. Maybe I should build that raid 5 array using this thing and keep my 4tb drive and get rid of the rest.
I was using a 30gb HDD a year ago. And then i migrated to My Server which only needed it for the OS. But since i turn my Server into my normal PC, it is just sitting around with my server OS. :)
Very True. I cost me 8 dollar a pieces. But They are pretty awesome, They have groves that allow me to stack them. And the 2.5 HDD holder just made it double better for me. But ya. to each his own.
