I'm currently looking to build a new WHS 2011 system and am looking for ideas and recomendations. I would like to use some parts that I already have but if something else is better I would be willing to change.
Here's what I have so far:
Case: Extended Ascension CYO by Mountain Mods
Raid Controller: 4 - IBM M1015
Hard Drives: 1 - 1TB Drive ( WD - System Drive )
16 - 2TB Drives (8 - WD, 8 - HITACHI)
4 - 1.5TB Drives ( WD )
4 - 1TB Drives ( WD )
OS: WHS 2011 + Flexraid or Drive Bender
I really want to use the MM Case as I got it free and includes enough space to mount 42 Drives and includes all fans and mounting brackets for the drives. Also includes 2 - atx 1000WATT power supplies.
As for the rest I'm open to suggestions.
I would really like to go with a supermicro motherboard but not sure which one to go with.
Budget is at around $1000 but would like to get about 12TB in hard drives also. (Either 3TB or 2TB HITACHI)
Please help
Richard
