I think it's based on physical storage not actual. I'm guessing you many have over 10 TB if you're using RAID.

Holy crap, You have just shy of 10tb useable, and yet you only have 4tb left of space...
...Or am I reading that wrong?
**edit
I also ask, because Im looking into setting up a Windows home server machine in the future...

2.3TB in data, 2.3TB in duplication, and some left over used by backups and what not. Seems about right.

Man i never could get mine to do that.
Id sure like to know what i was doing wrong or not doing though.

sure, here is the disk management pic
and for space, yes there is only 4TB left already, same day as i finished moving all the data over haha, and only 2 smaller PC's were backed up at that point via manual backup, will grow really fast once its gets to my PC, almost 2TB on my desktop as well.

I spoke too soon. treadstone beat me and BlueFox to the Chenbro RM-91250 that we had been stalking, by literally 2 minutes. there was a site with a pretty good openbox deal on it a few weeks back.
he tells me he's already bought 50 x 2Tb drives for it. so once he finishes his build and decides to roll in here, it'll be /thread at least for storage in a single system.

Wow, thats a kick ass case, Its perfect if you want the maximum possible amount of HDD storage in one case, but damn, the cheapest I saw was over $3000.
They got it for a bit over half that actually. odditory and I were watching it for weeks to see how low the price would drop.
nice, u have temp readouts.. would u mind sharing the drivers u used for sat2-mv8? also, what MB u have?
Very [H], indeed!
Congrats!
Now, I sure wish I was the chiropractor in charge of putting the poor soul that has to move that case fully loaded with PSUs, HDDs, cables and whatnot. That has to be a back-breaking experience... lol
And DAMN for the 100TB mark... That's just INSANE!
Cheers.

+1 to that. I'd be buying a 2TB drive this weekend, but I need UPS batteries first.
for mother board, i have supermicro X7SBA
for the drivers for the sat2, i grabbed the newest ones from supermicro's FTP server
EDIT: its the 3.1.0.2 driver

not a problem, and i agree, there FTP really is a mess, they need to redo it completely LOL
ftp://ftp.supermicro.com/driver/SAS/Marvell/MV8/Windows/3.1.0.22/
in last post i did mean 3.1.0.22 not 3.1.0.2

Compact awesomeness!
Sweet, just as I like them: small and packing a punch.
I also wanted something small, but the only good uATX cases in my price range were VERY unavailable (the mini 180 is great, but it was like two to three times more than I could afford), so I had to go with an ATX case an uATX mobo...
Also, glad to see you can actually use the IGP AND the PEG slot at the same time on that motherboard. Always a big plus!
Cheers, and good luck with the build.

Stupid question, but why would you want to run virtual machines off the server?

Simple, I leave the server on 24x7 (I turn my gaming rig off at night and restart it to frequently to run VMs for my liking) and when I am playing a game I know that 100% of the resources are available to the game. The server also draws less power and I can remote connect to it from my gaming rig so it works just as well for me.

My first post here!
The 2 IDE drivers are only temporary for some backups.
atm there is about 18 TB but missing some drives and 1 controller card.
Will post my workstations later.

Because a server running as a file or print server in a SOHO environment will see very little load on the CPU and it will burn more watts heating the room than doing actual work (unless its a software raid... but even then it would need to be a big damn array to tax that CPU heavily)
so running some VMs on top of it makes it a worthwhile investment. He can do more jobs with less hardware.

How do you have the MyMovies server setup? Is it straight in R2 or is it in a Hyper-V VM?
Someone needs to get a few Norco cases and jump on the SAS expander bandwagon.
i know if i had the money would be the setup i would go for have norco released the half lenth 24 bay epander unit yet
