1 Terabyte Storage RAID Server - How?
Hi,
I'm currently full of data, with almost no room left. I've gone down the external hard drive route, which seems to have been a mistake. I should have, long ago, just invested in a separate computer to fill with mirrored (RAID1?) drives...
So, now I've had it. I want to build myself a machine that just sits whirring away with the vast bulk of my data on. The question is: how do I do it on the cheap?
Basic requirements:
- Processor: fast enough to make sure the data flows when I want it;
- Storage: expandable to up to 1TB of mirroed space (i.e. 2 tb).
- Cheapo video (but capable of driving a 1600x1200 flat panel)
- no monitor needed (Got one already)
- no keyboard, no mouse.
- no cd/dvd drive.
So, does anyone have any pointers for a case, motherboard and processor combination that would give me a nice cheap barebones RAID-capable machine with LOTS of room for hard drives?
Hope you guys can help
thanks,
Rory
