    I"m looking for a case that supports a radiator and 8 or 10 hard drives. I can't seem to find anything that fits the bill . . .

    Does anyone have any suggestions? Under $200 would be grand. Has to be ATX. Rack mount is not required.

    it is a dual port. I also have a 2 port and 4 port pass through that take internal cards and connect them to external back plates.

    8 bay 6G SAS/SATA Drive Enclosure and HBA

    I have two of these Enclosures, one with an HP 9207-8e PCIe 2.0 SAS6G Host Bus Adapter and one with no HBA. I also have an internal to external SAS adapter. I'd like $250 for each of the enclosures + actual shipping from Kansas City. I'll throw the HBA Internal to External adapter in on the...

    E5-2697 V2 - $200

    That is a pretty big drop from 3ish months ago. I chose the E5-2667 ($190 x 2) for the higher clock speed and because the 2697's were sitting at $300. Nice find.

    Adaptec 71605 Raid card - 70$ (obo)

    @Bert, I think I only really tried to mess with MaxCache once and was disappointed to see it took a minimum of 2 SSDs in a mirror. I understand the caution - but for my setup where I care more about the performance than the data security I would have preferred at least the option. As I've...

    Adaptec 71605 Raid card - 70$ (obo)

    I have two coming at $55 each. Last one I purchased several months ago at ~$80 and my first one (which is a Q) I bought at retail when they first came out.

    Adaptec 71605 Raid card - 70$ (obo)

    I have two of these, in different workstations, and I also think they are great. I just submitted a offer of $50 for another, heck, might even go for two more.

    I love these conversations. :) The only issue that I see with RAID6 and ZFS2, is again UREs. That has to be a huge concern for drives this large and the only true way around it is RAID10. ZFS, although better than most other file systems does not negate the danger at all. Keep in mind...

    Of course with drives this size and UREs (uncorrectable read error) rate of 10^14, (, RAID 5 or RAIDZ1 or any other single parity offering is not much better than no redundancy. RAID10 is the best best, and in that scenario my setup is as efficient and also takes into mind hardware failure...

    Best Buy WD 10TB w Flash Drive $169.99, now $159.99

    I have a unique outlook. I actually have two machines, with about 50TB each that mirror all content on a nightly basis. Each machines array is in a RAID 0 stripe - I know, the HORROR. But, let me explain. By having two full copies of my data in a fast stripe I don't worry about a failure...

    640K of RAM is enough for anyone!* *Erroneously credit to Bill Gates.

    Agreed, although higher, the array (raid 0/ same controller) of six 4TB drives I replaced with these did not scale linearly. Benchmarks showed 332 read and 496 write with Seq Q32T1 and 110 read/455 write Seq. I won't mention the 4K performance. As far as the maximum transfer rate on mine...

    I'm just into 21 hours of copying date (backup of my backup) to a pair of these in a stripe, over my network. Maximum 6.9Gb/s, Average 2.0Gb/s. Total copied? 17.0 TB. Performance manager shows the array as maxed at 100%
