    Storage Spaces sucks, how can I free my disks and get rid of it??????

    No, that is how it has always been. You put the disks in a pool, then you carve out your virtural disks with whatever raid level you want. It has been that way since day 1. Chris

    AIC J4078-02-04X 78-bay JBOD Review

    also look into the PicoPSU so that you can draw DC to the server instead of DC -> AC -> DC conversion. that will save a lot of power in the conversion. and the real question is how big is the server? something like my setup would take ~1000W for 24h utilization. something smaller (like TTM)...
