[snip] We use the following at work, but it's still pretty cheap and pretty silent: Chieftec WH-02B-B (9x5.25 bays) filled with 2 x Supermicro CSE-MT35T http://www.supermicro.nl/products/accessories/mobilerack/CSE-M35T-1.cfm for regular storage, 2 x raidz1 1 x Promise SuperSwap 1600 http://www.promise.com/product/product_detail_eng.asp?product_id=169 for changeable external backups and still have 2 5.25 bays for anything interesting ;-) other parts are regular SocketAM2+ motherboard, Athlon X4, 8G ram, FreeBSD/amd64 -- Sincerely, D.Marck [DM5020, MCK-RIPE, DM3-RIPN] [ FreeBSD committer: marck@FreeBSD.org ] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ *** Dmitry Morozovsky --- D.Marck --- Wild Woozle --- marck@rinet.ru *** ------------------------------------------------------------------------
