![]() I have a high air flow cabinet (Corsair 7000D AIRFLOW Full-Tower ATX). I only have one PCI slot that is accessible remaining and it is just above the power supply. I may have to go to external storage at some point, but I don't expect that for a few years. So, I want to do the same with my storage subsystem. The system is overly powered CPU/RAM/GPU to allow many years of growth. I have concern of rebuild time when there is a HDD failure given the size of the 18TB HDD array. I rely on raid 5 for protection from hardware failure. My application is mainly a home media server with a large amount of data, but is not typically high i/o. My motherboard supports 6 SATA drives, I have 8 drives in my tower, so I need to added capacity to connect more drives. I boot off a M2 device attached to the motherboard that I will not raid. I also have a couple of other disks that I will not raid. I have 3 - 18TB HDD in a raid 5 array (which I will grow as needed) and 3 - 4TB HDD in a different raid 5 array. The MSI Z690 Ace mother board does not have am Ubuntu driver for the built in raid, they only support Windows. I have a home built PC that I dual boot between Ubuntu 23.04 and Windows 11. I decide to join the forum so I could ask some questions. I have been using it as a reference guide for a couple of weeks now. ![]()
