Storage access via ftp/nfs/samba over gbit lan

Im not using any raid/jbod variations. For data thats needs reduncancy i have multiple offsite backups and since im using pretty nice indexer, havnt feelt need for unified partition. In the end, for movies/series/some_other_stuff raid is overrated :p
 
looks good but could use little cable management work :p
 
nice work !

but i think you should clean your cpu heatsink, it looks dusty in the last pics.

seems like this is one of the days when with one tt isnt enough,
so decided to make second box from spare parts around,
getting GigaByte GA-M61P-S3 back from rma, have old amd 4600+ and few spare sticks of ram ... so making box will be easy, need few extra 1t drives and tt2 here we come

yeah i know, its freakin dusty, but not going to clean them any time soon :p

future planed updates:
adding 8p controller and 8x750 to MH
and 2x 750 or 1000g to TT

on side note: does anyone know if Supermicro AOC-USAS-L8I will work/fit in ordinary pcie 16x?
isnt it meant only for UIO slots?
 
Christ, looks like you need a Norco :p So what are you using all your storage for, movies? Are they HD or something?
 
sad about norco
im in europe, eastern ... :D
getting norco here is a freakin pain in the ass, and thats mildly put
in the end, if you position norco vs chieftec + 2x cm bays, its like 350eu at least vs 100 ;/

on MH, maybe :)
 
super bump here, as I stumbled on your thread from a google search while troubleshooting a Samsung HD103UJ drive issue...

The Supermicro AOC-USAS-L8i card *will* work in a regular PCI-e slot, however the "bracket" that hooks into the chassis needs to be replaced in order to have it mount properly.

I am using the card, along with 8x Samsung HD103UJ drives + FreeBSD + ZFS for my fileserver :)
