Will be used for the usual things--backups, streaming media, iscsi for some virtual machines, cifs, etc. I thought about doing a smaller mini-ITX Atom-based setup and that probably would have been fine, but I figure if I'm going to have this thing for five years or more I might as well get what I want. What I want is 6 drives in RAID-Z2, ECC RAM and a decent CPU.
I found what looks like a pretty cool 6-drive case. The motherboard has 6 sata2 ports, so I should be good there. I just want to make sure I'm not missing anything important before I pull out the credit card. For example:
Does anyone have experience with Toshiba DT01ACA300 drives?
Am I likely to have heat issues with six drives in the LIAN LI PC-V354B case?
Anything else I should consider?
1 x LIAN LI PC-V354B Black Aluminum MicroATX Mini Tower Computer Caser
1 x SUPERMICRO MBD-X9SCL-F-O LGA 1155 Intel C202 Micro ATX Intel Xeon E3 Server
1 x Intel Xeon E3-1230 V2 Ivy Bridge 3.3GHz (3.7GHz Turbo) LGA 1155 69W Quad-Core
1 x Kingston 32GB (4 x 8GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 ECC Unbuffered Server Memory w/TS Model KVR16E11K4/32
6 x TOSHIBA DT01ACA300 3TB 7200 RPM 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5
1 x COOLER MASTER Hyper TX3 RR-910-HTX3-G1 COOLER MASTER Hyper TX3 RR-910-HTX3-G1 "Heatpipe Direct Contact" 92mm CPU Cooler
2 x Patriot 8GB Tab Flash Drive Model PSF8GTAB3USB
