Hi guys.
Hope someone can help. I am looking at building a massive NAS for at home for the use with VMWare , movies , music, pictures etc. I plan on using Open Filer or Free NAS.
Anyway i am looking to do this as cheap as possible to start off with. There are the requirements.
I will need a case that can hold a minium of 10 SATA drives.
2 x Mirror OS
8 X Raid 5 configuration.
I plan on starting off with 2TB SATA drive and adding as i need but this system shoud give around 16TB which to be fair i wont reach but i like the idea of never having to worry about it.
Now i have seen a couple of cases that have room for 7 PCI slots but do OC do a motherboard that has 7PCI slots or is a daughterboard needed?
Has anyone out there done this kind of seyup before?
Thanks in advance
