Chuck's NAS
Goals
Build an expandable home NAS with as little extra investment as possible.
Hardware
- ASUS M2N-SLI Deluxe motherboard
- AMD Phenom 8750 3xcore
- 4x Corsair 1GB
- 1x Hitachi 250GB system drive
- 2x Hitachi 1TB drives data drives (to be mirrored)
- Supermicro 5 bay SATA hotswap enclosure
- Gigabyte Nvidia 7900GT video card (this machine will still double as a workstation for a while)
- Antec Sonata II case
- Antec 350watt green power supply
I bought the Phenom since it was the right stepping for OpenSolaris to support Cool-n-Quiet operation. It is also a black edition, so I'm hoping that I can underclock it a bit to bring the power usage down. Initially the system will have just 2 drives mirrored, but there is enough expansion available to add new disks when I need to later.
Current Status
Waiting for some of the parts to arrive
