The Storinator at Home

Build Description

This was built using spare parts I had lying around after getting a good deal on 96 TB of used hard drives. The only new part in this build was the 5600G I got at microcenter.

Currently the server is running openmediavualt on a 500 GB sata m.2 and its used as a cloud storage server and hosting other services such as Minecraft servers.

There are 8 8TB Seagate drives running in raid 10 connected to a LSI 9207 storage controller (that has a fan tied to it lol) and 2 14TB Seagate drives.

Favorite Feature

My most favorite feature was modeling and 3D printing a way to mount all 10 drives in the case. I most likely can fit up to 12 drives If I use a tower air cooler.
