4x 250gb RAID 5 (file storage) on an LSI MegaRAID SATA150-4
3x 160gb (Uploads, ISOs, VMWare ; Games ; Scratch)
1x 74gb Raptor (OS, Applications, 60gb wasted space)

And, an additional 37gb Raptor for when I run a LAN game server. all other drives above are disabled in this profile.

In the future, I plan to pull the 74gb raptor and the 2 new 160s and put them in another machine (the SFF gamer I'd build), add in another SATA150-4, and build another RAID 5...probably w/ 300gb or larger drives in addition to the 4x250. I'll keep the 37gb Raptor for OS/Apps, and the older 160gb for VMware Images/Uploads.



Excluded are the 80gb & 20gb 2.5" external drives, the 200gb 3.5" external drive (as the rules said they don't count.

Also excluded are the 10gb XP x32 drive for my laptop (which has a 100gb XP x64 drive), as they're in another system, and the 3 40gb drives that don't have a home. Oh, and the 3gb Teamspeak Server drive that I use on my iPaq at LANs)

First post, guess I will join the club.

3 x 200GB Seagate
1 x 300GB WD
1 x 60GB Deathstar
2 x 36GB Raptor (Raid 0)

Total 1032GB. I barely qualify, now wheres my club Tshirt?

 

[Allaxul]

Here's a fileserver I built from scratch last year. It's running on a dual-processor SuperMicro motherboard in a Lian-Li PC-V2000A case. It also has a 250G PATA drive for the OS but I didn't include that in the list.

Tank

• HighPoint 1820 A SATA Raid controller
• 8X Maxtor 300G SATA Drives
• RAID-5
• 2.1 TB

 

[polar-ten]

I'll join the club too.

Also in the case right now is a WD 120 and a Seagate 160, but those will be removed soon once I feel confident that the RAID is set up properly to move the data onto it.

I just noticed that this thread was split into two. For some reason, the split didn't put my stats here, so I'm posting them again. These drives are on a Tyan S2882 dual-Opteon machine I use for database development:

I suppose I qualify now. I just completed my PC upgrade, which among other things added two each WD SE16 400GB SATA150 drives to my existing 160GB + 250GB setup. So now I have:

400GB OS / Apps
400GB Digital Video
160GB MP3s / Digital Photos
250GB Backups

Advertised total is 1.21TB, formatted capacity is 1.126TB

120 gb - system and applications

1 320 gb - data

Nothing's RAID. I am buying a 8x SATA controller card and will be putting in 8 more drives as I need them. I imagine that the average of the 8 new drives will be 500GB as I buy over the next 3-5 years. It's currently 2.69TBs, but should fill out to around 6.5. Rediculous, I know. I currently have less than 500 GBs of free space.

Sorry no pics of the drives themselves as I can't shut down right now. Hot spare 6th drive on the way. I'll eventually get those wires cleaned up....along with making the rear fans operational....lol

<edit>ok, maybe i'll have to take pictures, but it's a cabling disaster.</edit>

 

[Zepher]

I'll be able to join the club next week with either one of the machines (depends on which one gets the new 400GB drive).

EDIT: Main machine now has 1292gigs.

Not mine, but my uncle who uses this to store every action he took when trading stocks. As a Hedge Fund Manager, he deals with huge spreadsheets, etc that are backed up onto the File Server and every stock trade he does is documented on said server.

And it all fits in a 2U rack! I'll try and get some pics soon...

Yup, just became a member. Running 2 80gb hitachis, one 250gb Maxline II and one 250gb Maxline III. Then I just shoved in my 400gb seagate drive.

Works great: supermicro server board, dual xeon 2.0Ghz, 1.5GB ram, ati 9550 low profile.

I'm very jealous of the promise supertrak above... wish I had the money for some good controllers to run my gear b/c that would be huge for my performance but streaming video doen't take that much speed for a file server and all...
