I've had such a bay rack for years, and it survived
i looked at possibly doing one of those too - but only 5 disks was too

stuff.

I too went with a 5in3 case for HDDs, in a nice portable Mini-ITX case, with
Intel Atom. More of a SOHO NAS for home use, rather than a beast. Still, I can
get about 10TB in it.

I'm using a SuperChassis 743TQ-865B-SQ for my home NAS, which is what
that workstation uses. It's very LARGE and very quiet. Did I mention
it's HUGE?
Heh :-) Disk usage is directly related to available space.
At home I have a 4x1Tb raidz filled to overflowing with music, photos,
movies, archives, and backups for 4 other machines in the house. I'll
be adding another 4 and an SSD shortly.
It starts with importing CDs into iTunes or WMP, t

I think it *IS* for home use. I like the supermicro stuff, i just

rackmount chassis aren't usually designed with acoustics in mind :)
however i might be getting my closet fitted so i can put half a rack
in. might switch up my configuration to rack stuff soon.

This seems like you're doing an awful lot of planning for only 8 SATA

Hello,
I have been researching building a home storage server based on
OpenSolaris and ZFS, and I would appreciate any time people could take

I've tried to gather old information from this list as well as the
