Hi all,

i have some components and some others to buy.

I want to build 8tb raidz2 array

Main use: multimedia save and streaming and backup of 3 computers at home.

What i have is:

Amd athlon ii 250- cpu

i have a mobo taken out of hp 3005mt which has one pci-e slot and 1x16 pciexp slot. The motherboard is compatible to above cpu and i can use it if i can.

I have 8gb ram

430w psu

2x2tb samsung hdd and planning to buy 4 more will do mix and match for less chance of failure

I am planning to buy intel NIC

will do Fractal mid or full case- atleast 6 hdd if not 10

Also will buy Intel RAID Controller Card SATA/SAS PCI-E x8 8internal ports (SASUC8I) if recommended.

I have looked at others setup and was wondering if i should start from scratch or use some stuff that i have.

Please help.
