ToneKnee Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 Hey, I want peoples thoughts about maybe replacing all my 1TB hard drives (5 in total) with 1TB 2.5" drives instead. Performance is not really an issue as long as I get at least 50MBytes/s Read/Write and I'm currently using Storage Spaces which is working out very well for me. The aim is to lower power consumption as I've read that 2.5" drives use less power than an idle 3.5" version so this would save quite a bit of power over 5 hard drives.

CPressland Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 does he like Crisps? Couldn't say, he was more of a Burger King guy back in College. He's probably asleep right now (does the nightshift) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crisp Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 Yes my last name is Crisp, I would use it but it's taken on Neowin :cry: I like BK? New to me, I don't eat fast food, now quit talking about me pervs!... :rofl: /thread derailed. Screw HP and their microservers, built not brought! :woot: I've got an Athlon II x4 (energy efficiant one) sat around doing nothing, might use it soon when I get some funds to get some Terrabytes. remixedcat 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJerman Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 Wish I could take some pics of the servers I have at work, but we have a no photography rule. I have unreleased hardware, so I can't be snapping pics and posting them online. I will leave this here though: I don't even really have a server at home. Actually, I have two computers at home, a Macbook that I do my daily stuff on, and a desktop running Ubuntu that I run as a server. Up until a couple of days ago, I was actually using that "server" as my main system, but then I got my Macbook back up and running, but they are both old. I really need to build a low power server since my "server" machine is really mostly just storage and Plex. Now that I moved into a house of my own and saw a $200 power bill for the first month, I'm starting to get a little thoughtful of my power usage.

KarbonKopy Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 Using a Alienware Area 51 right now for my home server. 5 3TB drives are on the way and its currently running Server 2012 Core (MinShell) and two machines in Hyper V as a test. Pretty spiffy looking server if I do say so :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ToneKnee Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 :omg: 5ghz? What the hell processor do you have!?! Probably a AMD FX8150, those Bulldozer CPU's don't half overclock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KarbonKopy Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 This is from work, basically a large stack of Dell PowerEdge R710's running Server 2008 R2 Core or Server 2012 Core with 3-4 servers running on each. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f0rk_b0mb Posted September 19, 2012 Share Posted September 19, 2012 Probably a AMD FX8150, those Bulldozer CPU's don't half overclock. Oh, thanks! :) I was just thinking about that as I hit post.

CPressland Posted September 20, 2012 Share Posted September 20, 2012 We've got two Server Rooms at work, one in the UK is pretty naff, just a few Dell Servers stacked, but the ones in Vancouver look awesome.
