Go lah buy a new 2TB hdd :-) Prices have come down a lot recently :-D

Woohoo buddy! not 1 but 2! gonna compete with d3x is it? :-P

Ahem.

The two bottom-right drives are 2TB each; the rest are 1.5TBs except for 1 640GB. All the drives in the module are 1.5TB drives. I've got 2 more 1.5TB and lesser drives in another rig.

wtf.. i was not even aware any motherboard had that many sata ports...

Get a board with 8 sata ports and add in a 2-port pcie card, and voila!

There are boards with 10 sata ports even, but expensive lah.

... I don't even think i need that many hdd i wonder what would need so many hdd.. server arh?

Eh? D3x... i thought you using NAS?

I do a lot of downloading backups and copying data transfers, so I guess you can call it a server?

@farkinid: no lah, I did try one out, but I worry about the power brick.

d3x does not fear hdd phailure

oh i forgot... RAID .... ah well its gonna cost a bomb to buy that many hdd

I haz good maintenance/hardware policy.

Oh, RAID0 at best. No redundancy.

ruifung: I tried a linksys NAS200, bloody lousy file transfer @ <5MB/sec. Runs hot too. How's the 323?

You could get a cheap atom PC for dc++.

satisfactory, approx. 7 mb/s, not really hot. i use it for HD streaming to the tv .
and installed transmission on it.. no idea how to use DC++ through

*bows down to d3x "King of HDDs"*
Your PC must be running damned hot inside the casing man! Phew! I've got 4 HDD's now at 2 x 2TB + 2 x 1 TB, and it's like an oven! Need bigger casing and new mobo I guess :-D hehehe

maybe his PC naked one

dx3

Your server's power supply must be really "big" to power all those hdd
