Originally here in NAS DIY learning mode went to the "Serve the Home" forum for the NAS build. Most of the work was updating the firmware on the LSi (IBM) raid controller card. It was well documented on the forum. I had no dependencies on a new NAS still using the old US Robotics 8700 NAS. So I tinkered some with whatever SATA drives I had around.
I have moved now here from Samba sharing to NFS sharing as it seems more efficient and faster to me.
Got the new modular power supply today (1 day shipping from Amazon). Gonna try to swap power supplies here without removing or disconnecting the NAS sub chasis or tray. Being modular there will be less wires inside of the case. For the SAS drives went to using those thin SAS/SATA cables to the LSi controller. I replaced the old Silverstone fans with better fans. Got the HDD temps down to around 31-33 ° C. After today's endeavor will replace the 4 last SAS drives.
