Hardware: SERVER: IBM System x3650 M4 v2 CPU: 2 x Intel Xeon CPU E5-2680 @ 2.70GHz RAM: 384GB NIC: 3 x Intel X540-T2 10GB Dual Port Ethernet Adapter RAID CARD 01: LSI SAS9207-8e 8-Port External HBA with "IT" firmware RAID CARD 02: LSI SAS9207-8e 8-Port External HBA with "IT" firmware RAID CARD 03: IBM M1015 with "IT" firmware STORAGE: 3 x 36 Bay SuperMicro CSE-847E26-R1400LPB SSD 01: 2 x 960GB ScanDisk Ultra II (SDSSDHI-960G) SSD 02: 6 x 1TB Samsung SSD 860 EVO (MZ-76E1T0B/AM) HHD 01: 66 x 5TB Toshiba X300 (HDWE150XZSTA) HHD 02: 18 x 8TB WD 8TB My Book (WDBBGB0080HBK-NESN) shucked Ultrastar He10-8 SATA (WD80EZAZ)
SSD total capacity: 7.920TB (raw) HHD total capacity: 474TB (raw)
Software and Configurations:
My IBM server is running FreeNAS 11.1-U7, the IBM backplane is connected to the internal IBM M1015 with the six SSD drives. In freenas it's setup with four vdevs (mirrored) with two drives per vdev, which is used for the virtual machines.
Next I have two LSI SAS9207-8e cards that connect externally with three SAS cables to the three 36 Bay SuperMicro CSE-847E26-R1400LPB which have a total of 84 drives. The 84 drives are setup in RAID-Z2, with 14 vdev's with six drives per vdev.
I present both zpools to vmware using iscsi, and the RAID-Z2 pool is setup for SMB.
Usage:
I use the storage to run all my virtual machines in vmware and to hold my large media, basically I run my own personal dropbox (seafile), email, game servers etc.
Backup:
I backup all the virtual machines to my RAID-Z2 pool, external qnap device, gdrive and LTO-6 tape drive.
Additonal info:
I currently have three esxi hosts connected to this storage, each esxi hosts has two Intel X540-T2 10GB cards to give me 40GB throughput for each hosts. My ISP provides 10G internet connect to the house.
Waarschuwing: gigantische foto (over 14000p breed en 3600p hoog). Wel het voordeel als je om half 7 in de ochtend op de fiets moet om om 7 uur op stage te beginnen. Op de Den Uylbrug in Zaandam, kijkend naar het noorden richting het centrum.
Ik ga hem gebruiken voor test doel einden. Er draait nu Windows server 2016 op. Ik ben wel verplan om vmware te draaien. Als het nodig is kan ik tot 288 GB (18 x 16 GB) gaan. Dus dat moet wel goed komen. Trouwen 8 gb ecc modules kosten ook niet zo duur namelijk 25 euro en 16 gb ecc modules 55 euro.

External: I run 1 WD 3TB on usb 3.0 because I ran out of hdd bays, I have a 4-bay Cyberlink esata box
HDDs: 13x WD Green 3TB
6x WD Green 2TB
1x Seagate 2TB
1x Samsung 2TB
1x 500GB single-platter Seagate (Scratch)
Software and Configuration: Windows 7 - All JBOD. I use junctions to merge the drives, works perfectly for me.
Usage: I use the storage for movies and series, i have media players around the house that access it. I also have a 150/75 home line, so I can stream it to any remote location or to my mobile devices.
Backup: What is this "backup" you speak of?
Additional info: I think I've only added one drive since November 2011. I bought most of these 3TB drives at $110 before the Thailand floods.
Photo's:
Internal shot of the server. Not sure how best to take a pic, but I'll post this old pic in the mean time. I don't have the 570 anymore, I filled all the hdd bays, and I don't have the esata box in my case, I just wanted to see if it would fit.

CACHE: 1x 160GB Western Digital WD1600AAJS
Software and Configuration: The box is running unRAID 5.0-beta14. Single parity disk protecting 9x array disks. Currently looking to downsize by replacing smaller disks with 3TB now that prices are starting to come down, just replaced the parity with a 3TB last weekend. Will need to wait until there are fewer moths in my wallet to continue though!
Usage: Like most with these large arrays (if mine could be called that looking at Rudde's and Whaler's) I use it to hold all our movies and TV shows. It serves as the central point for these as well as being the central XBMC MySQL database for all the players/PCs in the house.
Backup: No backup. Danger is my middle name :lol:
Additional info: The box's name is Goliath to go along with David, my smaller 1TB CrashPlan and general PC backups server.
