Well, my storage is getting full. I currently do NOT have a backup either. My dual socket opteron has been running strong for over a year now. But I need more space and a backup. I was thinking to make my current setup the backup server and creating a new one with raid 0 for the primary. Once all data is transferred, I would make my backup raid 0 as well.
Current setup:
ASUS K8N-DL Dual Socket, Opteron 285 2.6Ghz (Overclocked to 2.7Ghz) Dual-Core, 12 GB RAM, 4x WD Red 3TB, 750 Watt PSU using On-Board sata controllers (Both), 60GB SSD cache, LACP 2 gigabit connections.
In case your wondering, draws an average of 220 watts, not that power draw is a concern.
I was thinking of re purposing a used HP server with dual socket xeon or opteron. Quad or Six cores though.
