Hi All,
I am planning to build my first NAS. I own a DS213+ (2 x 3TB Seagate ST3000DM001 - RAID0) and I need more space and redundancy (I made the mistake to underestimate my storage needs). Basically I use my NAS as Download Station + Plex Server.
My hardware setup should be:
- Supermicro A1SAi-2750
- 16GB ECC RAM (Samsung or Crucial)
- Case Fractal Design Node 304 or Silverstone DS380
- PSU 450W
Volume management:
- (step 1) - 3 x 6TB WD Red 1 x 2TB WD Green (already with parking disabled) SHR-1
- (Final Step) - 6 x 6TB WD RED by replacing the WD Green and adding 2 WD RED 6TB
My concerns are:
1 - My setup is well supported? Could anyone with same setup share opinions and performances
2 - Does SHR expansion work? (I read that some user are experiencing problem).
Any advise/suggestion is welcome.
Thank you
