Hi all,
Ive been running a dell t20 with 7 Drives in it! Ive kept upgrading these now running 6tb reds and still running outta space!
So ive wanted for a while to replace this with my own build rig naturally its over the top for what i need kinda future proofed i would hope! Only thing is a need some advice on a Hba card or 2 as the case has 6 mini sas ports im interested in connecting using a card connecting it to my motherboard that way as apposed to all the sata ports even then would need more ports due to my case bein 24 drives! I built a computer before but this was many yrs ago now and that was just a desktop!
OS at time of building:Already running a unraid machine
CPU:2 x Intel - Xeon E5-2670 2.6GHz 8-Core Processor
Motherboard:Asus - Z9PA-D8 ATX Dual-CPU LGA2011
RAM:2 x Kingston - HyperX Fury Black 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3-1600 Memory

Parity Drive:2 x Seagate - IronWolf Pro 10TB
Data Drives:2 x Seagate - IronWolf Pro 10TB, 5 x 6TB WD Red, Bunch of other drives ive replaced with bigger ones overtime
Cache Drive:Sandisk - Ultra II 960GB 2.5" Solid State Drive
Total Drive Capacity:Alot will edit for final figure once ive found an added all drives to array!
Primary Use:I will use this to house media files a copy of important files (another copy elsewhere! never rely on one place for important files!!!)
I will edit an add pictures comments etc as i go along! I have the majority of parts already i am just waiting on the case!
Any comments are appreciated
