I have 8 SATA on the motherboard, 4 PCI cards with 4 SATA each, one PCIe 4x sata card with two, and one PCIe 1x with two. The operating system itself will be on a hard drive attached to one ATA 100 connector.
Kind of like a "poor man's" data centre, except not that cheap... It still is estimated to come out at around 6 thousand dollars, which in retrospect for that amount of sorage these days is actually relatively good. I've weighed my options and I am thinking that 3 raidz2 sets is the best balance of data safety to free space. Also, in case any of you are wondering why I would need space, most of it will be HDV footage and render files. Thank you everyone who contributed here you have been of great assistance.

What is the controller setup going to look like for the 30 drives? Is it going to be fibre channel, SAS, etc. and what will be the Controller-to-Disk ratio? ~Bryan This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
