Hi All,
I made a thread previously about a home server spec and luckily I didn't need to buy one at that time, but the time when I need to upgrade my Microserver is creeping up on me.
Essentially I want to buy a PC that will have around 20TB of storage, using Flexraid to use a raid5 esq raid setup.
Will be used for music and full HD blu ray rips which will be streamed to a few computers in my house (not simultaneously)
The only thing I know is the case which will be the Fractal XL R2 which has 8 hard drive spaces and 4 5.25" spaces. 7 of the internal bays will be used for 4 TB drives (eventually) and 1 of the 5.25" will also be a 4TB.
I'll use the one space for a drive which holds the OS so a 1TB drive will be used there.
There wont be anything that needs to be transcoded or anything graphic heavy.
So essentially I need a spec that will power the 9 hard drives (8 x 4TB, 1 x 1TB) and allow me to stream to other computers with no stuttering or anything.
Even though it won't be in a room that is being used I'd still like it to be fairly quiet and cool if that is possible?
Cheers all
Oh and I will want 1 internal blu ray reader as well
Can this spec also include the best VFM fans and also all cables I'd need please?
