hi
i am about to start building my server to replace my nas drives and for future storage.
so far i have these parts:
fractal design R3
antec 520 wt eco psu
120 gig sandisc extreme sata 2 SSD drive - may replace with a lower 60 gig kingston drive SSD
2 TB WD sata 2 hdd
1 tb WD10ears 64meg HDD
1 tb WD10EADS 32 meg drive
1.5 tb samsung spinpoint
1 tb seagate baracuda hdd
500 gig WD drive - may leave it out
4 gig of corsair ram - may go 8 gig
i have the following components i could use but i doubt there gonna be good enough:
sempron 145 processor
ASUS M5A78L-M LX MoBo v2
i want a good fast server with plenty of sata ports on the mobo hence i doubt that one is good enough and gigabit ethernet.
i currently have a netgear gigabit router, 2 solwise gigabit homeplugs and a 5 port gigabit switch in the lounge which connects xbox and ps3 and i will connect a humax box and new amp possibly. i want it to run a epson wireless printer to but wired.
should i go for a i3 processor and do i need sata cards etc.
i don;t want to spend a fortune but will sell my 500 gig buffalo NAS and zyzel nas box to raise funds. i want it quiet to and power consumption low. i want the ps3 to see it, may sell my xbox 360 as don't use it for funds to. i also have some old baseunits to raise a wee bit more and laptop to sell.
should i go WHS or unraid as happy to have all drives running seperate but if performance can be increased by raiding a couple of drives then so be it?
