I see questions about some of this hardware but no feedback on how well the builds went
I want to build using a Z400 server with 12GB of ECC ram. This is a 4 core processor. I hoped to use the mother board SATA ports. 8GB USB for boot. I purchased 3 6TB Hitachi NAS drives. From the hardware config this seemed workable for a home video server. I want to run PLEX plugin.
Will the Z400 SATA ports support the 6TB drives? I see that the power bill will be a little high with this processor but it seems like it can handle the cpu load. Any suggestions or alerts.
I think this CPU still uses FSB but I am not going to load it too heavy. Any issues besides slower performance
What utility do you use to test the drives?
How should I configure the backup? I was thinking 2 drive mirror with local backup or a 3 drive config that I do notunderstand yet
thanks for any advice and tips. I have read many of the docs, but my head is still spinning.
