it makes me sad seeing all these ECO UNFRIENDLY HOME NAS servers

why would u still run a Phenom II X4 965 24/7 when there are CPU's out there that are just as strong but eat up less power...

its inefficient and in the end u pay more for the power bill

makes me mad to se power wasted like this :C

The build.

Its a very recent build, (yesterday), i basically upgraded my old data server.

Of the old server i salvaged the following components: CPU, RAM, HTP 2680, 2x seagate 2tb, 6x hitachi 2tb, and the SSD.

The rest is all new.

Array.

The server runs a program called FlexRaid under windows, this creates a RAID pool much like WHS v1 did.

Its a snapshot based raid so it will only create the parity files when you tell it to (or you schedule it).

This sort of raid is more then enough for simple A/V storage.

A nice thing about FlexRaid this is that in case of a complete raid failure you still have a lot of you files as its stored in simple NTFS.

At the moment there are still 8 drives running in RAID 5 under the 2680 controller.

When im done copying the data to the new array i will these 8 drives to the FlexRaid array.

Usage.

I use the storage for movies and series, i have media players around the house that access it.

Its also for backing up my computers.

Backup.

All the arrays are backed up to LiveDrive, this is a online cloud backup storage service (i have 100/100 Mbps connection)

Photos/ Screenshots.

As you can see, the old raid 5 array is still active (disks D, F, G, I, R and S) these will be gone soon and ill have a 26TB V drive

A quick overview of the drives from within FlexRaid

im using it because i had one laying around. but i am planing on replacing it eventualy

First. 90% of the power used and produced in Norway is hydroelectric.

Second. I had that CPU and MB lying around. : 3

thx for the tip, but slick and mod-team said they where working on it, and i think ill just ask them to delete the topic and ill redo it, because i can see my pictures 7 times in this post because is was quoted, i still have a copy of the old list so ill keep those in the new post when BBcode tables work again.

Guessing tables still aren't up? Really liked this thread I don't want it to die! :)

I love all technology. The perfection of macs for my designer side, and the hardware and fun of tinkering on the of the pc side. We can have it all, just not at the same time.

When the tables are up i will most likely start a new thread, same rules and everything but just start again as there where 1 or 2 guys who only made one posts on the forum anyway.

fresh start would be a good thing
