Scratch Build – In Progress 7th.GeN - Rebooted ^^

grevaeg I just tried to visit your home page and It looks like you may have been slightly haked.
Thought i would give you a heads up

Looking forward to seing this build get started looks like its gonna be another epic one.

 

Bloody hackers... -.-

Ill get it back up running asap ^^

*finds a backed up database* 0.o

How in this world would 25x 250gb ssd's fill up the need for storage? with all the excell spreadsheets i have around... it just wouldnt fit on 6tb ^^

Anyone got some color ideas for this project btw? only posted pics of the alu work this far, but would really like to get some plexi in there aswell... just cus it looks kewl

 

Probably wouldnt fill your need for storage but it would be hella fast

 

I was just wondering. What do you store on all that space ?

 

My guess would be the world wide web...

Su'b by the way... Have to know how this baby turns out

 

Nice CAD work or Google Sketchup Work!

 

solidworks to be exact

 

For colors I'd mix polished aluminum, flat black with accents of flat dark blue/blueish purple

 

I just don't know what to say, it's, it's, it's gonna be ... Playmate of the year! =D

 

Along came a HDD? 0.o

Hi guys!

Just received a update from the sheetmetal company ^^

Got a production time of 2 weeks on the alu thats in for some CNC work, so guess its about time to take some waiting pics of some hardware thats going into this build.

As projected, 16x 2 TB WD Green 7200 rpm disks will be replacing the random muccus of the previous build, along with another 4x 1.5 TB for the gaming rig and another 2x 300GB 15,000rpm SAS drives.

Will be using the LSI 8470 controllers for the drives, and go full out raid 5 with 2 sets of 8 drives each.

Striping for the SAS drives, and another raid 5 for the 1.5's

 

Well whoa ho ho that's a lot of storage space.

 

Hi. My name is grevaeg, and I am a porn addict.
I don't even have that many dead drives! You are crazy!

 

pffs... its only about 10% pr0n -.-

 

That's just amazing! But why are you having 4 x 1,5TB and 2 x 300GB 15,000rpm SAS drives for your gaming rig? :O

 

10% of... 20? terrabyte is still enough to call you addicted

 

Need to have some local storage if the gaming rig is away from the server you never know when you meet people with excell spreadsheets to share 0.o

 

lies!

 

No, it's not. 2 TB is not that much space if you are taking photos, creating 3D-models, listening to high quality music (FLAC),watching HD videoes, downloading crap, rendering videos etc.

You may also have a few backup drives to secure your sensitive files etc.

 

Ahhhh, I see your point!

 

Yes, 38 TB is not adequate! needs more space... u knoz... HD pr0n , lol

But really... when making a decent fileserver for 1080p material, it actually gets filled up quite fast, along with some redundancy for files u dont wanna loose
