This is my "everything" server but one of it's primary functions is files:
Core2Quad
8GB ram
9x 1TB drives in raid 5 (total: 6.3TB)
1x 500GB drive for OS
Running Fedora Core 9 and using mdraid.
It's an old beast, been wanting to upgrade to something new. It randomly crashes and tasks fail. Pain in the butt. A couple years ago the power went out for 4 hours and it has not acted the same since. Did not like that cool down period I guess. I now have a big battery backup system to outlast such outages now. That last one cost me over a grand. Ended up replacing all the drives, backplanes and cables.
Older pic, that drive is in now Also don't mind the foam, this case is weirdly designed in that one side the bays are vertical and the other side they're horizontal. My OCD kicked in and I HAD to fix it.
UPS:
We get at least one extended power outage per year due to the road construction in my area so this lets me get through it. If this server goes down it's probably not coming back up.
