RAID 0+1

RAID 5

kim.lee

没参考价格:funk:

估计都价格不菲

zjy315DOOM

俺现在有两个方案
方案一：价格便宜，不要求raid，只要求能接足够多硬盘，14-16个硬盘

方案二：要求有一定的性价比，组raid5，8-12个硬盘，最好能支持16个硬盘

俺初入此道，请女侠帮俺设计一下方案并提供一下大致价格，如果能在电源方面给以适当介绍就更好了

俺家用数据备份，应该属于阵发性开机:loveliness:

Adamhe

有sas的卡么? pci-e的.谢谢

能支持14~16个硬盘的, 一般都是帶Raid 5功能. 你的預算是多少?

可以考虑9650SE-16ML，它有备用电池……但是……价格会比较贵……你要有思想准备……
还有，你需要注意一般16口的RAID卡都需要PCIE 8X的插槽，你可以像我一样选择IGP主板并把卡插在PCIE16X上，或者选择975、X38这类主板，切忌选择NV的芯片组，和RAID卡很容易有冲突……
这是产品图样：


我还比较关心16块硬盘你拿什么机箱装……:sweatingbullets:

RAID春 RAID夏 RAID秋 RAID冬 :loveliness:

zjy315DOOM

:loveliness: 女侠，俺是1022
3*4+2可以装14块硬盘
如果用5位的笼子，16块也没问题，不过可能通风效果要差些

9650SE-16ML多少米能拿下？
俺就是一个数据存储，对速度没太高要求

俺现在NF4U有8个串口，如果有8口的便宜卡，也凑活了

要是卡和N家兼通不好，可以考虑入块GX5，装在PCIe16X上
预算么，3K是俺可以接受的上限

:funk: 女侠的卡价格有点夸张

而且电源也是困扰俺的一个因素

好电源也不難找的.
