HI guys

Wonder if i can find anybody as crazy as me out there.. so here it goes.

Soon upgrading my machine to 16 x 1.5TB's in a RAID6 configuration ( should give me total of 21TB usable space).

upgrade costs ( excluding MB/ CPU / GFX/ CASE) : $4500(USD)

Will post pics once i assembled the monster.. :)

That's a little crazy. But you shouldn't run out of room for a while. Do you have unlimited bandwidth from your isp??

I only have 4TB, but my brother has 25TB (a little excessive in my opinion lol).

6.7TB of total space, 5.2TB of usable space, it's about 90% full right now. I'm using unRAID.

Slightly offtopic, but how are you finding unraid? I was thking of converting my WHS to UnRaid although i'm concerened about performance?
