Hey everyone,
My name is Cody, and I just wanted to pop in and say HI!.
I have in the past ran raid setups for personal media collections using HW Raid 5 and ran into a lot of issues with failing hard drives. When I started I was trying to keep things budget and ended buying WD Green 1.5 TB drives. I know how many thing are wrong with that!!! Suffice it to say I learned the hardware what NOT to do.
I have just rebuild the new beast with hard drives I had laying around so its not at optimum settings as I want to replace all of my drives with WD RED 1TB 2.5 drives to help reduce space I want to migrate to a 2.5 form factor.
This time I am trying to do things.. better... right... I hope.
I will be upgrading the following system bit by bit until I get where I want, as you can see I already have some minor upgrade due in. I am not looking to build a gaming rig or any other BEAST. I already have that as my main PC so until there is a valid reason to upgrade the core of my rig I will be running on old hardware.
System 1:
AMD Athlon II X2 7750 - Upgrading to AMD Phenom II X4 965 BE
8GB DDR2 800MHz RAM - Upgrading to 16GB DDR2 800MHz RAM
ASUS M3N78 Pro
LSI MegaRaid SAS 9240-8i - Cross Flashed 2118-IT
Volume 1: 8x 80GB 7200 (Mixed) HDD - Raid 10
NZXT Tempest EVO Chassis
2x Supermicro Mobile Rack CSE-M35TQB
FreeNAS-9.3-STABLE-amd64

Let me know what you think.
Thanks!
