Building a Budget Storage Server

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the long-term-storage-for-your-flicks-and-chicks dept.

An anonymous reader noted an article running over at Firingsquad talking about building a budget storage server. Talks about cooling, power, RAID, expandability, etc. Good overview type article, with practical application.

    "The choice of IDE over SCSI is now easier then ever due to the vast difference in their price/performance ratios"

    Yeah, if you want to build a mickey-mouse file server.

    CDs may self-destruct at sustained speeds of greater than 56x

    The author (or the person who wrote the sidebar comment) needs to learn the meaning of self-destruct...

    Hell, give anyone on this board $1500, and they can beat your "server" upside down.

    Indeed. If you want to spend the full $3000, build two of your $1500 boxen, and then you have a complete backup.
