Is that a pair of 343s stacked on top of each other?
"Little" being probably the understatement of the century...well here is my little rig, i will post some details a little later.
"Little" being probably the understatement of the century...
I mean, that thing has the volume of four cases, has wheels to be moved, and those handles seem to be able to pull an elephant or two... each...
However, that's [H] worthy alright , and if XS did über cases, it would probably fit there.
I'm actually liking the colour (sorry for you USers out there, but I can't for the sake of me to drop the "u" on that word) theme, I can't wait to know just how much stuff you can fit in there... If my calculations are correct (I'm using a smaller case as comparison), I'd say at least 15~20 drives on the main case (probably more, if you use a uATX motherboard, though that might be a problem on storage expansion), and around 40~60 on the other three cases, meaning an INSANE amount of potential storage...
DAMN! Ockie, stand aside, because if I'm right, you could be shoved out of the picture so fast it would hurt.
Please, someone tell me my math is utterly wrong. Please!
*Drools*

P.S.: It's stuff like these that make me happy to have subscribed to this thread... hehehe
this rig is about to be pulled down and changed into rack cases (3x norco 4020's)

Ender, you can update me to 32tb in one machine now I'll post a pic or two coming soon... just got the rest of the 2's in
Yeah, you're right. But I was only referring to the potential raw storage capacity of a case like that... I mean, fitting 120TB+ on a single mega case is something you don't see every day...IIRC I had about triple his storage... He has a boat load of smaller drives.
Hehehe. 16x2TB... Hmm, don't Norco cases fit 20, or so? Or that's 32TB available, with RAID5 or RAID6, meaning more drives?Ender, you can update me to 32tb in one machine now I'll post a pic or two coming soon... just got the rest of the 2's in
Everything else sounds and looks weak when we start entering the 30+TB clubMy 17 TB sounds so weak now.

No offense, but while you still seem to be the storage king, you get there with rather compact systems, and/or rackmountable cases, which limit the number of drives you can fit in a system.
His approach is, well, massive, and could REALLY redefine the way home NASes can be made to be. I know, I should probably go to XS, thinking like this...
Same where I live. Heck, I can't even remember the last time I actually saw a website acknowledging the store could supply something like a multi-drive hot-swap enclosure... Professional storage controllers are VERY hard to find, too...We have 5in3's here but they are around $200US, we have some drive rack cases but they are well over $1000us. No 3ware, no acera really around and easy to purchase.
Sorry. It seems I hit a nerve, though it seriously wasn't my intention.And yet another reason I don't publish my build logs. People rip them off and then come here to take my claim. This is exactly what I was talking about.
Fair enough. If you feel you don't want to post any more pictures of builds, so be it. Though I personally would love seeing my designs carbon copied. The whole "imitation" and "flattery" thing (Yeah, I'm a little like that...)So yeah, you guys wont get any pictures, I don't need to prove myself here just so someone else can take the idea and come here and take the throne.
Doesn't seem to have anything to do with "fun" or "jealousy". At least to me. He's probably not in the same place where he was when he posted his builds. That kind of thing happens, it's life going on.damn
cmon, youre no fun anymore ;/
seems like beening on #2 and 60t 4u thread has got you
i used to look up to you, compare your ideas to mine, improve my final doings ... now, everyone for himself ... yanks go for norcos and fun with showing each other their doings goes in history books, sad
damn

Do I sense a swap is on the works?kinda sad, you have missing lp bracket ... i have missing full profile bracket
Since the last time I participated in this thread I somehow managed to get one of the users NOT posting ever again, I'll be as careful as I can be, OK?Total advertised storage 12.5TB
kinda sad, you have missing lp bracket ... i have missing full profile bracket
I especially like the hot swap PSUs. I wish cases like the Norco 42xx, which are ever so popular among DIY NASers, had that option. But I guess it's just too expensive to have that on a prosumer case, right?
Anyway, I'd like to know how loud that case is, and if you have gone any special lengths to lower sound output and power draw (apart from that CPU pair and low power 2TB drives, of course...).
Sounds like we should trade
The SAS expander backplane is the main reason I went with an 8x6E1 series Supermicro chassis.
Why is it I'm out of the loop on every great business opportunity? Hmpf... I swear, someday someone will find a way for us Portuguese guys to have the great prices you have that side of the ocean...Yes, it is a very expensive chassis ($750-800), but I paid less for it than you would for a Norco
I can only imagine how loud that thing is, then.Very loud...even with the 3 pin-workstation fan speed setting in the BIOS. It's under the house so noise is a non-factor for me. The chassis is intended to be used in a rack in a datacenter type environment after all. I didn't take any measures to dampen the noise (other than the fan throttling setting in the BIOS) or lower power consumption.
Does having a rack in my bedroom count? Fortunately I have a 4U Norco now as I sold my 4U Supermicro.Really though, Supermicro stuff is not designed for consumers who care about noise. Their cases are meant to be deployed in datacenters and such so I seriously doubt that fan noise is even on their concern list. Do you guys actually keep your fileservers in a place where they could be disruptive?
True. Sad, but trueReally though, Supermicro stuff is not designed for consumers who care about noise.
I don't own racks or rackmountable hardware, but I can tell you that my NAS is in my bedroom; and on my parents' house, the router (dedicated dual-NIC machine) is within earshot of my bed.Do you guys actually keep your fileservers in a place where they could be disruptive?
god if this forum had rep i would give it to you in an instant, wcing a HDD controller is unbelievable can i ask why?
Damn, watercooling on a dual-GPU file server. AND on the storage controller cards of said file server.
In addition, you have my all-time Samsung favorite drives in there, from the 250GB P120 to the 1TB F1... hehehe
SWEET!
Rock on, man! VERY interesting machine. And it actually seems it can be at least somewhat silent, with the WC loop. Of course the HDDs will keep it whining, but at least most fans can go away...
Cheers.

Some raid controllers get really hot; I know my adaptec controller gets really toasty with it's stock passive heatsink.
