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)

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

 

 

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 !
