elegin Posted July 9, 2011 Posted July 9, 2011 Simple storage array. Built a few of those myself with that card. Quote
digip Posted July 9, 2011 Posted July 9, 2011 Doesn't look like there is anything simple about it. Looks like it might be some sort of cluster too. Quote
krew790 Posted July 9, 2011 Posted July 9, 2011 i can tell you what it is doing it about to start a fire Quote
elegin Posted July 10, 2011 Posted July 10, 2011 Yeah, those drive will put out a lot of heat. I still say just storage array. It could be clustered but I don't think that has anything to do with the 42 drives.. I think it is 42 based on counting them which may be off. My guess is 3 raid cards 12 channels each for 36 drives and 6 on-board sata to round out to 42. I have done several supermicro storage arrays but only 16 drives. My only question is about the power supply. It looks like it is around the back. Quote
Sitwon Posted July 10, 2011 Posted July 10, 2011 Smoking is bad for the hard drive. That guy should quit smoking or at least take it outside. Quote
Infiltrator Posted July 10, 2011 Posted July 10, 2011 It could be a cluster or a storage device with Terabytes of capacity. Another interesting thing, is why is this guy keeping a can of gas with cigarette? Not a very good combination? I feel sorry for that computer already. Quote
