Lots of 2.5, 3.5 and 5.25 conversion brackets, cages and hot-swap bays

To get me some ideas on what is available on the market right now: ADATA, CORSAIR, CRUCIAL, PLEXTOR, SAMSUNG, INTEL & OCZ SSD (SG OFFICIAL DISTROS WTY).
For ZFS, this seems the controller of choice:
- IBM ServeRAID M1015 SAS/SATA Controller for System x – Forum – Tweakers.
Het grote DIY RAID NAS topic deel 3 – Opslagtechnologie – GoT.
PCI-e 8 Port HBA for ZFS – Suggestions for 4TB+ support – [H]ard|Forum.
For high-density data,
- a 15mm 2.5inch 2TB drive: Toshiba MQ01ABB, 2TB – Prijzen – Tweakers.
- 1TB and 1.5TB drives of various heights: Interne harde schijven – Prijzen en Specificaties – Tweakers.
For fast data:
- SSDs around 1TB: Solid state drives – Prijzen en Specificaties – Tweakers.
Everything needs to fit in something like this HP XW6600. For Raid-Z3 you need many drives according to Raid Calculator | Raid Disk Space Utilization Calculator | ServeTheHomeSTH – Server and Workstation Reviews (as it can loose 3 drives: ZFS Raidz Performance, Capacity and Integrity Comparison @ Calomel.org) another calculator for risks: RAID Reliability Calculator – Simple MTTDL Model – ServeTheHomeSTH – Server and Workstation Reviews.
You can also use the below bays for instance for Finding Uses for Old 2.5″ Hard Drives | | Que.
A few remarks on 2.5inch disk solutions:
- Delock 5.25 Wechselrahmen für 4 x 2.5 SATA HDD.
Has no fan, fits quad drives up to 14.5mm height. - MB994SP-4SB-1_ToughArmor Series_2.5″ SAS/SATA CAGES_ICY DOCK.
Has fan, fits quad drives up to 15mm height. Read the rest of this entry »
