Hi,

Ive written a little Wiki about two boxes im currently benching/testing with benches

There's a Green one and a Black one. One is the Backup FreeNAS ( To receive Replications and such ) and the other one with 3 NIC is for iscsi and fast I/O reponses.

Take a look at this : http://the.only.ipnextgen.net/fnas/

Thanks for your comments/Ideas/Suggestions

Hi!

I wont modify the black one ( test with 4gb only, its kinda PITA to assemble, i dont want to touch it )

I was not using link aggregation yet. It will be in my future tests ( i need to get a dual nic for my motherboard ). When i will ill post switch specs.

Yes, ill post the Intel NAS toolkit results :)

Thank you for you interest

Hi,

Two quick questions about the case you are using:
1) The hot-swap hard drive bays have a backplane that is advertised as being SATA II capable. Can you confirm that you can get SATA III connectivity when using the hot swap bays?
2) The PSU in the case have a 40mm fan, is this fan noisy?

Hi!

1 : Ive setuped SATA-III Drives in two new boxes i didnt add to the wiki yet.

Here's what's the kernel detected :

ada1 at ahcich1 bus 0 scbus1 target 0 lun 0

ada3: <ST2000VX000-9YW164 CV13> ATA-8 SATA 3.x device
ada3: 600.000MB/s transfers (SATA 3.x, UDMA6, PIO 8192bytes)
ada3: Command Queueing enabled
ada3: 1907729MB (3907029168 512 byte sectors: 16H 63S/T 16383C)

Soo i assume its SATA 3 Ready and working :)


2) Oh man this box is soo quiet, i plug the fan on the mobo on the "Chassis Fan" .. does speed up if it heat's up.. but never heard anything :)
