    How to put up to 23 Sata Hdds in a file server???

    Whats everyones opinions on caddies? I have been looking around and the cheapest I have found is £17 for a SATA caddie which for 20+ drives adds up!!! I have also seen brackets which convert 5 1/4 bays into holding hdd's for about £4, but obviously I loose any benifit of Removeability. I...

    How to put up to 23 Sata Hdds in a file server???

    I haven't spent anything other than the case, and I bought that as it was exactly what i wanted. My research comes from the internet, these forums and others. I agree with what you are saying if I was building a commercial unit, but as I am not what you are saying is pointless (Not meaning to...

    Whats the best way to connect 2 PSU's together? A few years ago I did it by soldering some link wires between the atx plugs to make both turn on at the same time. Is this this the only way, or is there a Y lead or something you can buy? Ian...

    How to put up to 23 Sata Hdds in a file server???

    Hmmm... Looking at that SATA card i mentioned earlier I don't think that does staggered spin ups. Is there anyother way of getting round this i.e. without spending loads on a RAID card which I can't afford to do? Can I use a software setup to split between 3 cards (Between 8, and 7 drives on...

    How to put up to 23 Sata Hdds in a file server???

    Case arrived this morning, and it doesn't have IDE caddies so it looks like I will be able to stick to my original SATA plan. So I can definatly stick this PCI-X/PCI card in my mobo and it will work as long as there is space? I am planning on using an Epox EP-9NDA3+ Motherboard, and it...

    How to put up to 23 Sata Hdds in a file server???

    That explains my confusion over PCI/PCI-X cards..... However due to the case I have chosen, it looks like I am going to have to go down the IDE route now, or have to replace 23 hot swappable bays... But I am not 100% sure yet, not until I have the case in my hands. So the question...

    How to put up to 23 Sata Hdds in a file server???

    Has anyone got any experience of this card: Supermicro 8 Port SATA 2 RAID Card (PCI/PCI-X) It seems awfully cheap where I have seen them (Sorry not here :( ), so I was wondering why that may be? Ian...

    How to put up to 23 Sata Hdds in a file server???

    Hey, That last one was exactly what I was after. As much I would love to be able to afford 2 12 port cards, the costs are just far to prohibitive. I do however see a major problem with the port mulitiplier, and that is the weakness it adds to any raid setup that I have. i.e. where it...

    How to put up to 23 Sata Hdds in a file server???

    Ok, its as simple as the title says. I am building a new file server that I want to have the capability to take up 23 Sata hdds as thats as many as the case I am buying tomorrow can take. Now I am not putting 23 in straight away, as can't afford to do that, but I will be putting enough in to...
