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

You can use the "code" thing, it works awsome, just take a look at my post : )

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.

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
