I'm new to the list so this is probably a noob question: Are this forum part of a mailinglist or something? I keep getting some answers to my posts in this thread on email as well as some here, but it seems that those answers/posts on email aren't posted on this forum..?? Or do I just get a copy on email from what ppl post here on the forum?
Georg Edelmann wrote me on email saying he was interested in making a homeserver/nas as I'm about to (try to) do and wanted to know my hardware etc. What I was thinking of using for this server was Asus A8N-SLI Deluxe with some kind of AMD64 CPU, probably the cheapest X2 I can find and pair it with 1 or perhaps 2GB of RAM. The mainbord has 8 SATA onboard, 4 nvidia and 4 sil3114. I was also gonna get a 2sata add-on controller card, totalling 10 sata ports. But now I'm not sure, since alhopper just said the performance of the 3114 is poor. Blake, on the other hand mentioned the Sil3114 as a controller chip to use. I will of course not make use of the fake-raid on the mainboard. Kent - I see your point and it's a good one and, but for me, I only want a big fileserver with redundancy for my music collection, movie collection and pictures etc. I would of course make a backup of the most important data as well from time to time.
