Did you eat the styrofoam to get at the drives faster ?

1 drive is DOA, it just clicks on startup really badly. Other 7 drives are testing:

thideras · 04-23-09, 12:59 PM

Once they do a few rounds, I'll throw them in a sliced RAID0 for the heck of it.

It'll be close. 16 drives for the Perc 5's, one for the OS. Means I'll have 4 slots open for whatever I want

SuperMiguel · 04-23-09, 01:08 PM

Perc5 is a RAID controller right?

Correct, here is the one I'm using at the moment. I used a Zalman heatsink on the main Intel chip and moved the heatsink that was there to the other chip that gets hot. Runs pretty cool.

Dice · 04-23-09, 01:20 PM
