There you go! Good luck.

Was planning on using 4TB Drives, So i can do the exact same SAN setup with a 10GbE setup? Could i get a part list, not exactly sure where to purchase server parts yet.

Didn't read it all, but you've got a pure idiot on your hands .

What website?

They don't offer a Firbe Channel System, would you mind helping me getting the parts chosin? Like initial (for a server & storage add on) & the extras i would need for each other server.

Just get a 3930k. No need to waste $500

Mai god...

If they dont provide it how much would initial setup cost? Cause the "LSI SAS 9300-8e SAS 12Gb/s PCIe 3.0 8-Port Host Bus Adapter" costs around $450. What other stuff would i need besides cabling?

Well you see, I to provide web hosting services.

I'd use it just to screw around with it. Not sure what they all have but if you could have LED's match the CPU Temp, Overall Temp.ect would be cool IMO.

I just want the option to be able to easily expand the servers storage. The server's specs ill be gettining are: (Going to be used for web hosting.) Processor 2 x Six-Core Intel® Xeon® Processor E5-2630 v2 2.60GHz 15MB Cache (80W) Motherboard Intel® C602 Chipset - Dual Intel® Gigabit Ethernet - 8x SATA - IPMI 2.0 with LAN Memory 4 x 16GB PC3-12800 1600MHz DDR3 ECC Registered DIMM Chassis Thinkmate® STX-2312 2U Chassis - 12x Hot-Swap 3.5" SATA/SAS - Single Expander - 920W Redundant Power Boot Drive 250GB SATA 6.0Gb/s 10000RPM - 2.5" - Western Digital VelociRaptor™ WD2500BHTZ Storage Drive 12 x 4.0TB SATA 6.0Gb/s 7200RPM - 3.5" - Hitachi Ultrastar™ 7K4000 Controller Card LSI MegaRAID 9271-8i SAS 6Gb/s 8-Port Controller with 1GB Cache Battery Backup Battery Backup Unit LSIiBBU09 (for LSI 9271 / 9285 / 9286) Accessories Supermicro System Cabinet Front Bezel MCP-210-82601-0B (Black) Mounting Rails Quick-Release Rackmount Mounting Rails - 26.5" to 36.4" (Included) (MCP-290-00053-0N) Operating System Ubuntu Linux 13.10 Server Edition (No Media) (Community Support) (64-bit) Warranty Thinkmate® Three Year Warranty with Advanced Parts Replacement and RSL

Simply put have a main powerful server & be able to connect it to an external server with a crap tonne of storage. EX: External HDD

So what i thought it did was correct? Just differn't naming? would i being using 2 of these "LSI SAS 9300-8e SAS 12Gb/s PCIe 3.0 8-Port Host Bus Adapter" + would i need a raid controller on both machines or just one?

Haha
