Hi, this is going to be small build/upgrade log. Some parts are reused from my other computer, some are brand new.
Name :
Well I use mythical name for all my computers and Realm Eternal that's where i would like my data.
Usage :
This machine will serve as NAS, Plex server, Teamspeak server and i might host few games for me and my friends.
Specs:
CPU : Intel Pentium G3420
MB : Asus Z87i-pro (i know it's overkill but it was taken from my other pc when i got new MB)
RAM : Corsair Vengence Black 8gb CL10
PSU : Corsair RM450
Case : Bitfenix Prodigy White mITX
Storage :
Kingston SSDNow V300 120GB (System drive)
WD RED 3TBx3 (Storage space)
Storage configuration:
For now the storage will be set up as JBOD. I might go with RAID1 when i get 2 more drives for backing up photos and other stuff from the network. The other REDs will stay JBOD or I might change them to RAID1 I'm not really sure right now.
Backup:
Well this is going to be backup for the rest of the computers. I don't have any plans for backing up this machine expect syncing my photos to Dropbox.
Photos:
I'll attach few photos of the system.
My thoughts about this build:
Well for now it is working fine. My only problem was with the build quality of the Prodigy drive cage - my other build is in Fractal Design Define XL R2 and the drive cages there are much better. The temperatures of the drives are usually lower but this week is really toasty where i live(room temperature around 30 degeres C)
This build might be WIP for a long time. I'm thinking about adding optical drive so I potentialy could make images of instalation drives for laptops(I only have 1 optical drive now and it is really unreliable - it's taken from my Asus N53SN and it's i usb bos).
