FreeNAS NTFS to Z.... FreeNAS virgin

[BrutalRage]

Sorry dint see that. Just send a mail to http://www.dfwpartsdepot.com/ asking if they would send to NL. And looking into forwarding. Thanks for the help

Yeah, I edited my post a few minutes after I posted to mention the package forwarding; you might have looked at it before that. The turnkey system from DFW Parts Depot does seem like a good deal, even compared to other C2100s I see on eBay US. For just one thing, its 32 GB of RAM is in 4 x 8 GB DIMMs, leaving lots of space open for extra RAM. IIRC, those machines have 18 DIMM sockets, so you could go to 144 GB.

sweet that would make 1 nice nas. Think i would have loads of fun with that.

I just checked on www.shipito.com, and it looks like they'd charge about $160 to ship the server to Amsterdam, assuming a shipping weight of about 50 lb. A Google search for "package forwarding to europe" comes up with lots of hits, and they're the first one. viabox.com estimates about $200; amforward.com estimates $175--all of these rates are in US Dollars, of course. I don't have any personal experience with any of these companies; they're just what came up on a Google search, but they should give you an idea.

I use shipito. Better than com gateway.

I never like not knowing how much it's actually going to cost until the package is there.

If you can find the packaged dimensions and actual weight from the vendor, then I think you can get an accurate quote.

You may have to pay some sort of customs at your border.

The vendor on this one says they ship worldwide:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Dell-PowerE...404525?hash=item417ecf892d:g:HiUAAOxyXzxTJO5F
It comes with the H200 SAS card, which can be flashed to the appropriate firmware for use with FreeNAS, and 24 GB of RAM. A little more expensive than DFW, but shipping might offset that.

Damn thanks for looking with me. Just checken the fees for sending.... Hold on to your hatts 793 dollar!!!!

 

[BrutalRage]

That's the eBay vendor you just linked

Ha ha thanks m8, really apriciate the help you guys gave me.

 

[BrutalRage]

So I am looking into this machine and if I understand correctly I can use SAS drives in this.
just found 7 of WD RE WD4001FYYG, 4TB 150 euro a piece (new 287 euro).
Before I buy am I correct that because of this component LSI 9211-8i Ver. P20 it can use Sas drives?
kind regards,
Guido

 

[danb35]

I think it should, but I've honestly never tried. I think @Mirfster has used SAS disks in one of his C2100s, though.

Hey,
How much was shipping?

Please keep us updated, I hope everything goes well and there are no extra taxes involved...

 

[danb35]

FWIW, when I quoted 50 lb in a 24 x 36 x 9 inch box shipped to Amsterdam, shipito.com quoted about US$160. I'm pretty sure those dimensions are going to be pretty close to reality, having had a couple of 2U items shipped to me recently, and I doubt the weight will be much, if any, under 50 lb.

Sure, feel free to ask. I'll be sure to try and help.

Yep, one has 12 x 4TB HGST NL-SAS Drives. Works fine.

 

[Stux]

Of course, just because you can use sas drives, doesn't mean you need to.

Well, that's probably debatable, I wonder if there will be a debate ;)
