I am using an SC846xxx for a project here at work.
The hardware consists of an ASUS server-level motherboard with 2 quad-core
Xeons, 8GB of RAM, an LSI PCI-e SAS/SATA card, and 24 1.5TB HD, all in one
of these cases.
The drives are in one pool with 3x 7+1 raid-z sets. Raw is 32TB, usable is
about 24TB. Total price was about $6000. (It'd be about $800 less now that
1.5TB drives have dropped in price.)
If I can go with something like this it's going to be the easiest way to get
lots of drives. Do you have this outside of a server room? Would the noise
be manageable if say it were mounted in an enclosed rack with sound
deadening?
It's in a server room, but I had it here in the office while I was putting
it together. The case really isn't too loud. 24 hard drives make a fair
bit of noise--but I think if you had it in a closet with some
soundproofing, it wouldn't be bad. And if you went with a smaller
enclosure (12 drives, for instance) that would help.
