If the fans on those drive cages are pulling air in, then the top fan would be best extracting air. You'd want a vent of some kind so the rear fan can pull air across the card from the front. Perhaps even an air intake fan on the front to help out.
those drives give me 90s Seagate vibes from the external casing, i must admit i want to start collecting more retro servers, but i don't think my Shed, Parents or electrical grid would like me very much. though SGI stuff has been crossing my mind of late
Which sas expander is this? It looks like an Adaptec AEC-82885T, but i think that one only supports the host system being connected to the internal ports, and not the external ones. Would be nice to get this clarified at a later point. I am thinking of doing something similar.
manuale : download.adaptec.com/pdfs/user_guides/adaptec_sas_expander_iug_6_2016.pdf page 18,,, that is not how I read that,,, I could be wrong,, and have to come up with a new plan.
@@MyPlayHouse It seems like you found some better information than me. I hope it works. Another question, Where did you buy it from? I need one, but it quite expencive to ship to denmark from most ebay sellers, located in either US or china.
:-) I was about to complain that you was ruining my contrationtion, with that pretty girl on you avatar. But then I did 10sec. of investigation. And now think I will,, get to your question instead!! I have done a ton of videos of me testing drives (as I get a bunch of Failed/dodgy ones) I have tried different software.. and there is a lot of way better software than what I am doing.. But some of them takes hours or days,, and with 4-10 drives at a time that is to long for me. I know the drive is BAD-ish,, I am just looking to see if it´s too bad for me to use for my fun. If I am not mistaken I had issues with CrystalDiskInfo,, not seeing my SAS drives. It sees my SATA and my NVMe,, but not the SAS :-/
I have a side question, I'm trying to see if this would be a valid solution. But, I do need your opinion. I recently started testing out ramdisks which is like a drive on ram, the reason for this is for speed since ram is faster than nvme. I tested it out on my computer using Linux and I only have seen a few GB/s of transfer to ramdisk to ramdisk. I was wondering do you know why although in theory ramdisks are fast but in the real world ramdisks are kind of like an nvme ssd? And, have you tried a ramdisk before? I can't seem a lot of information about this online.
Yes a ramdisk is very fast,, but you lose the data every time you reboot,, or data needs to be put back in memory. But it might have some uses,, I tried it out while CHIA mining,, did not do much for that.
I have a question for you, I have a HPE ML350 Gen 9 HP server, it comes with HP SAS 6gbps 300.0 GB in size, I have a friend who gave me 4 Seagate Savvio 10k 6gbps drives. For some reason when I put them in the server, I run the storage administrator on the HP, but I can't format them I can clean them but can't format it. I want to use these inlace of the hp ones. What do I have to do to get them to work?
All my UA-cam videos takes up about 16TB,,, But this is for my bunker projekt,, You might want to store a lot of stuff, that you would normally just redownload from the internet.
I have to admit, since watching your videos i have begun the collecting servers.
Loving your content.
Hi @yukiamano5606
Thank You very much! glad you liked the video :-)
Thank you for watching! :-)
You are not alone. My 24/7 home server is an IBM X3650 M5. The idea to get one came from.. well, you guessed it...
good bunker prepping - you have a few years of reading ready to go
Cough Cough,, or a local pornhub copy :-)
Cool, I like that:) Don
Hi @DonBishopDonSongs
Thank You very much! glad you liked the video :-)
Thank you for watching! :-)
I waited for this one
Me too :-) I have done the next video on it,, but that is very little real progress,, but progress.
Nice compact setup, I have made a similar setup (but used a bigtower for it, so x2 the space) with 15 HDD`s / 2SSDs,,
Well there is a lot of wasted spaces in also this one,, but you got to start somewhere.
i would like to build a high packed but silent version of this just for fun. but i don't have enough drives or an expander laying around...

nice video 😃
Thanks 😀 more is comming,, this project needs more work..
Hi. Great video. Did you know you can extend the time for the evaluation for server 2022??
Yes I know :-)

Important to factor all of that in :-)

Another question, Where did you buy it from?

I'm curious to know the CrystalDiskInfo stats of the drives, especially the ok-ish ones.

We want to do nexcloud for over 1000 students at our school... but we only have 300 tb of available storage... we are firguring out what to do
Well 300GB per. student,, is not a bad start... :-)
@@MyPlayHouse That is for us, the offices and the teachers too... so that would be about 250 tb for this project.

They might be 520bit formatted and you need 512bit : ua-cam.com/video/5OLdRj-lCkE/v-deo.htmlsi=1EtDmL9H9Q5OnvL1
What do you store on 70Tb? What would take up that much space? I have about ten years worth of accumulating data, and I am up to a whopping 1.25Tb😊.
All my UA-cam videos takes up about 16TB,,, But this is for my bunker projekt,, You might want to store a lot of stuff, that you would normally just redownload from the internet.
That was a decent answer, and something to think about.@@MyPlayHouse
No exploding power supply this time? 😁
No,, I needed this one,, AT Power supplies are getting hard to come by.
@@MyPlayHouseYou also could use ATX power supplies and connect 2 pins to start it.
I tried to visit your store, but it said forbidden
Can I get access
That is weird,, it works fine for me ?
@@MyPlayHouse I tried to type it in, but when I clicked on the link that was on your UA-cam channel, I seen it it worked
@@MyPlayHouse did you see my other question about the HPE drives?
Microsoft Project Silica has 7TB
Glass :-/ brakes very easily,, but I guess it´s better than paper.
@@MyPlayHouse... not if you have a stone...
Anyone knows if this is a Danish fætter 😅
Yes I am Danish..
