My raid drives consume 11w per disk at maximum load and i have more than 400w left on my power supply.
Thanks for the clarification I will have the hba card so that will be ok, 5satas port is ok with an al-x motherboard, the problem might be the number of pci ports and the vt-d compatibility. 2016-02-03 19:20 GMT+01:00 Rick Stevens <ri...@alldigital.com>: > On 02/03/2016 01:15 AM, thibaut noah wrote: > >> I think i misunderstood what you guys said about jbod (my fault for >> reading quickly), i talked about the jbod feature, not a hardware piece. >> My disks are sitting in my desktop, if i buy an external storage for the >> disks i might as well build a nas, which is what i do not want, i'm >> looking for internal connection not external. >> >> was crawlking lsi and highpoint cards, cards between 200 to 300+$$, not >> really what i call cheaper stuff that's aimed at Winblows users ;) >> > > Putting 6 or 8 drives inside your chassis is really not a normal > situation.
