Hello,
I just finished this new build, thanks to all the information I gathered from these forums and the Internet, and thought I would introduce myself and the project.
My plan is to replace the existing servers. Currently I have 1 Windows 2003 server (2x2TB mirrored), 2 FreeNAS7 boxes (4x2TB, 1 RAID5, 1 ZFS1) and 1 Netgear ReadyNAS Ultra Plus 6 drive RAID6 (6x3TB) - All of these will be replaced by this new 24 drive server to store business data, personal files and media (music & movies)
24x4TB Server Configuration
Seagate 4TB Hard Drives x25 (one cold spare)
Norco RPC-4224 24 Bay Case
Norco 120mm fan bracket
Norco RL-26 Sliding Rail Kit
IBM M1015 LSI SAS Controller x1
INTEL RES2SV420 SAS Expander x2
120mm Case fans Delta - 113cfm
120mm fan cover/protectors
Motherboard - SuperMicro X9DR3-F-O
CPU-Xeon E5-2609 v2 2.5GHz x2
RAM - KVR16R11D4/8 x8 (64GB ECC)
Power Supply -750watt eVGA Gold
APC Back-UPS Pro BR1300G (edit May 4,2014)
8GB USB boot drive + spare for FreeNAS
This is my first FreeNAS 9 build and so far I am very pleased with the results!
