Hello,
I would like to build a very low powered (maybe atom based) nas that would run linux and samba for file sharing. I would also like to have a hardware raid 5 with 10 6Tb wd red drives.
My delima is the fact that I wish I had a light like on servers
Requirements
1. Low power
2. Must expand to at least 24 drives
3. Rack-mountable
4. Reasonably priced (cant afford storage pod $10k build)
5. Must be notified of drive failures (preferably by red light)
Current hardware
1. 6 - 6tb western digital red drives
2. 2 - 500gb seagates (for OS in raid 1 for redundancy)
I prefer super micro servers but I dont think an E5 Xeon is really needed for this application (electricity usage and also heat)
Thanks in advance.
