Hardware

CASE: Norcotek RPC4216

PSU: Corsair HX750

MB: Asus .... (need to look it up)

CPU: Intel Pentium G2020

HS: Noctua NH-C14

RAM: 8GB DDR3 1333 (ECC)

RAID CARD: HighPoint RocketRAID 2740

SSD: SanDisk Standard 60GB

HDD: 16x 4TB WD RED WD40EFRX

 

Software and Configuration:

The server is running Windows Server 2012R2.

Why Windows? Because most of my servers run it and it's easy to manage with AD.

Why Windows Server 2012R2? Because now I am able to use SMB3.0 for faster transfer speeds.

The drives run in RAID50 for an effective storage of 56TB.

 

Usage:

Storage of Movies, TV series, Music, Backups, Documents, ... . This server, combined with my Plex Media Server are able to provide me with Movies everywhere I go.

Backup:

At the moment none, but all the important files are stored also on our second NAS.

 

Additional info:

The server is running ECC Ram, even if it can't use it, I had in lying around and I am probably going to upgrade the CPU to a E3-1230V3 in the future..

What kind of storage networking are you using? Infiniband? or just 10gb ethernet?

<nice server>

Got any pics of the physical unit perhaps?

Please do cut out anything that isn't relevant in quoted posts (i.e. what I did in the first quote in this comment), it makes the forum way cleaner and the pages shorter :)

At the moment, I am still working on the networking part, but most likely, it will use 2x 4Gbit (4x 1Gbit teamed).

So with ECC RAM, putting it in a system that doesn't support ECC will just disable the error correcting functions and be used like normal non-ECC ram?

Will it be an aggregated 8 Gb/s link? Or will you have them on separate networks?

Yes.

For now it is the same network, but I might use that for a separate SAN.

 Dividing CIFS and SAN traffic between the two cards?

Yes, but I'm not sure about this yet.

You say it so casually, "A mere 52TB" :)

 

Very nice build.

Some systems will refuse to work when putting ECC into a motherboard that doesn't support it.

The same thing with the different types of ECC

eg: ECC registered into a board that supports ECC unbuffered and non-ECC

Yeah, things can be kind of weird in that area. Some configs will

work despite not being officially supported, others will not.

When the information is available, I usually stick to the RAM modules

officially listed by the M/B vendor as compatible.

Oi, I just noticed: If my math is correct, our list has a combined total

storage capacity of almost 1 PB, specifically 1,019 TB. Only five more

terabytes to go and we can call ourselves the LTT Petabyte Club ™! :D

(please let me know if I have miscalculated)
