My Diy NAS build

Hi!

New to the forums (and to OMV), been using Freenas, nexentastor & for the last year a Netgear Readynas Ultra 6.
Now I finally found the proper hardware to do a nice diy build

The parts:

Motherboard: Intel DBS1200KPR
CPU: Intel Core I3-3220 (Could use Xeon E3, but really don't need that kind of power (yet)).
Memory: Kingston 2x8GB ECC DDR3
Cooler: Noctua NH-L9i
HBA: IT-mode flashed IBM M1015
Case: U-Nas NSC-800
PSU: FSC 1U 460W (FSP460-701UG(80))
HDD: Either 8x1TB Hitachi Ultrastar or 8x1.5TB Seagate Barracuda (ST31500341AS)
BOOT: Either USB memory stick or a 64GB OCZ Vertex 2

8 bay hotswap nas chassis:

I'll probably be testing different NAS solutions on this hw. (OMS, Freenas etc).
I'll try to keep the build log updated, and post pics when I get everything.
Only thing missing is the PSU & Case, and they should be delivered today and tomorrow.

If I would build a fixed 8bay nas I would definitly go for the case. Sadly it is not available in germany... (Except if you let it ship from china...).

The shipping from U-nas.com was about $46 with Fedex delivery, not the cheapest, but I haven't found any cases that would be as good.

Why so small Hard Disks? And why the hell 7200rpm?

I have 14 1TB Ultrastars, the 6 2TB RED's are for now installed in the Readynas.

And don't forget that you need an 2,5" drive or an SSD as a system drive.

I'm going to use a 64GB OXZ Vertex 2 as my bootdrive (with Freenas a USB stick would be sufficient)

How long did it take to get the case?

It was shipped on Thursday I believe, being delivered in Norway today.

I try to post pictures of the case which arrived just now.
But it gets flagged as spam..

Seems to avoid spam blocking if I post 1 picture pr.post ..
This will take some time...

The case has arrived

Nicely packaged.

My cat is very interested

Separate plastic bag with backplate for the 2.5" drive, pci-e extension, case fan splitter etc.

Looks a lot like the brandname nas's

My cat is still very helpful, and want's to start building NOW

Also, the case had sff-8087 connectors for my hba already installed, which is very nice

Can you show us the FANs that will cool down all those HDDs? I'm curious.

Already in love with your case.

The fans are 2 Gelid Silent 12

I'm connecting the via a case fan splitter to the motherboard sys_fan header.
That way they get regulated according to temperature.
