System Update from this post, Just added 5x2TB Drives This PC is my all in one Workstation. I run multiple VMware machines, Stream films to house, Storage Server, and mainly while doing all that has the power for me to work for my day to day as well without slowdown issues. Best system i have owned. So this system runs 24/7 and never gets turned off unless windows updates or upgrades so on. Hardware CPU 2x Hex-Core Xeon X5650 12 Core 24 Threads Motherboard HP Z800 Motherboard RAM 48GB DDR3 ECC @ 1333mhz GPU ASUS OC Nvidia 960 GTX Mini Case HP Z800 Workstation Storage 1x Samsung 850 EVO 500gb Via Syba SATA III 4 Port PCI-e 2.0 x2 Card (On Its own to give full speeds) 3x256GB Crucial M4 SSD Windows Storage Spaces Raid 0 Syba SATA III 4 Port PCI-e 2.0 x2 Card (Second Syba Card for 4=3x ssd and one 500gb 2.5inch drive) 14x2TB Westren Digital Green 7200RPM Running In Two Way Mirror Windows Storage Spaces (Icy Dock MB975SP- B) and now some drives attached to side panel. So 4x drives inside stock bays, 5x drives in the Icy Dock, 5x drives attached to the side panel. 500GB 2.5inch Drive Via Syba SATA III 4 Port PCI-e 2.0 x2 Card PSU 1110 Watt HP Z800 PSU Display(s) 3x 24inch Dell U2410 1x 24inch HP LP2475w Cooling Stock Keyboard Logitech G15 Mouse Logitech G502 Proteus Core Sound Creative Sound Blaster Z PCIe (OEM Version) Operating System Windows 10 With Start Is Back !!!! Software and Configuration: My Workstation is running Windows 10 Pro and i am using onboard SAS and Sata Ports with Windows Storage Spaces. All Bitlockered at 256bit, and performance on the 14x2tb is around 100-120mb write. which is not to bad. My main array consists of 14x 2TB (25.34TB) in two way mirror, so I end up with 12.67TB actual storage space on that array. Second array Also Bitlockered is 3x256GB SSD's which are in raid 0 and i use these for running my VMware machines as they need the performance. 500GB 2.5Inch Drive just for weekly OS backups. Windows OS is just a 500GB Samsung 850, which i have a Full OS backup which runs automatically weekly to the large array. So total i have 19drives inside of the Z800 !!, next upgrade be second system i think.. as maxed out limit. Total space all drives together formatted is 29.76TB or 29,768GB Formatted space is about 27.25TB Or 27.257GB Backup: I have a APC Smart-UPS 1000 (Incase power failure) Photo's: Photos on last post, So add extra from recent work..

+1 for the ECC memory ! must have personally.

We need the photos and print screens

Just wanted to add i had this issue with couple drives which were coming up disconnected randomly (which was very annoying!)... Lots trouble shooting later... i replaced all my sata/sas cables with new high quality cables.. and never had issue since. also have cables which have clip so they clip to motherboard and hdd.. Ever since i always use high quality cables.. may not be this but is amazing that lot people over look a good quality cable in expensive setups sometimes.

I use Acronis 2016.. works great for moving over windows to new system or new HDD/SSD

Its interesting seeing performance difference between two older physical cpus IE my Dual Xeon X5650's 12core 24 thread vs your single newer Xeon E5-2695V3 14 core 28 Threads. amazing how cpus have come along all that power in a single cpu !

Ordered from Overclockers, Ebuyer, Scan and Dabs.. All were pretty great to be honest. Touch wood not had any issue with the above companys.

Thanks ! I love the dual socket boards and as system is on 24/7 I wanted server grade and ECC memory. Which reason picked it.. And HP build quality is amazing. Only thing I wish there were some options to over clock a little. As its well know these Xeon chips overclock very well. Will be adding 10th drive most likely as I hate odd numbers ! And with windows 10 the storage spaces has option to rebalance when adding new drive which is wicked !

Yes google portapow cable..

2x Hex-Core Xeon X5650 - 12 Cores - 24 Threads Seems i am in the 10k multi threading club

i have 68mb down and 2mb up.. In uk which is pretty good for here. couple people in house watching youtube so score little lower.

Just remove the bios battery for 20mins to reset, or use build in button to reset on board. and jumper for last resort.

Advise would be get a cheap website host, hosting from home PC is not best ideas. Slow, unreliable..
