I have been using both of you products on a WHS 2011 for awhile and would like to build a new server. I would like the server to perform the following duties.
OS: Windows 7 64bit
FTP Server
Plex Server
Media Center DVR using Silicon Dust HD Home Run Prime
Minecraft Server
Cubeworld Server
1 256GB OS Drive Samsung 840 Pro (Purchased)
15 3TB Storage Pool (Purchased)
Hardware Chosen so far, or re-purposed for new Server.
So here is where I would like some feed back. The motherboard has a Intel C226 Express PCH chipset. How is Stablebit's compatibility with this chipset? Will Stablebit scanner be able to read all the S.M.A.R.T data from it?
My second question is since the case I have chosen/re-purposed can accommodate 15 3.5 drives I will need a JBOD SAS card. I would also like this card to be able to read the S.M.A.R.T data. I am not interested in flashing any cards. I just want the most compatible SAS card with the ability to control at least 8 SATA drives. I plan on upgrading the case to a Norco RPC-4224 with 24 SATA/SAS drives, or something similar as I add drives to this server.
I hope that this community can give me some advice as how to proceed. Looking forward to your suggestions.
