Additional Comments:
I currently have a few internal drives and a few external drives connected to an old server and looking to move it all inside a new htpc/server. So I am looking to spec a new htpc/server and need some recommendations.
Requirements
Storage - 15TB RAID 5 (12TB)
Quieter the better
Lower power consumption the better
Windows 7
This is what I have so far
Case - Lian Li PC-C60B HTPC Case
Motherboard - Asus Z77 Sabertooth Intel Z77 (Socket 1155) DDR3 Motherboard - Possible overkill for an HDMI out and SATA RAID on board
Processor - Intel Core i3-2100 3.10GHz (Sandybridge) Socket LGA1155 Processor
Memory - Not Sure
Power Supply - Corsair 500W - Not sure on exact model
HD x 5 (Storage) - £130 each Seagate Barracuda 3TB 7200RPM SATA 6Gb/s 64MB Cache
SATA Controller Card - Was hoping to use the onboard RAID
Graphics Card - Was hoping to use the onboard HDMI
Any changes you would advise?
