We are just working on setting this new section up here on XS, looking forward to moderating this section which is going to be all about the latest xtreme storage devices and systems.

This is perfect for the site! I am very excited about this section. I do have a new arrival tomorrow that i will post a few teasers with, going to stack 8 SSDs on there and see what she does

Hmmm thinking of which, I have a 4 node HP P4500 G3 SAN with 48x 600GB 15k RPM SAS.
Anyone know a benchmarking program I could use to test this?

What is the different between the storage section and the xtreme storage section ?

It felt like the storage section has been burried too deep in the forums - and it's time give it the "xtreme" presence it deserves - I think the biggest difference would be - less clicks
Also to create seperate spaces for "general - storage" and "xtreme - storage"
I think an emphasis on storage-centric benchmarks would also be great. PCMV and PCM05, etc. Overclocking with RAIDs and SSDs

Like this? 2xAreca 1880 in software raid:
What to do about the regular storage forum? It's not like there isn't some extreme stuff in there already.
don't know if this qualifies?

Main home storage array. only ~224TB currently though.
112x 2TB that is sick.
This is what came in today.

Good Grief stevecs !!!
I love it
but would hate to pay the power bill for all that.
@fugger- do you have ssd's for that or rotating rust? Would be interested in seeing how well the promise could 1) saturate the link; and 2) how well they implemented the raid (5/6) on there. Older promise array's I've dealt with (granted, years ago) were pretty poor for parity raids.
@Buckeye, yeah it's up there but not too bad, that one rack is only pulling ~1600VA or so. Mainly due to using low-rpm/power drives (5900 rpm). Still, it's a dual xeon (X5690) head w/ 192GB ram and 7 LSI controllers. Old system I was capping around 4.4GB/s or so. I'm in the process of a re-design/layout and hope to break the 5GB/s barrier. This is mainly to keep data+parity checks for the full array to be less than 12 hours.
Just got myy first mass storage device up and running. I know, not exactly xtreme, but I'm excited, and hey, have to start somewhere.

About time that it finally happened
GullLars proposed this section more than a year ago...
Looking forward to seeing some extreme setups and results!
stevecs's storage-rack looks to be quite the heater
(I'm sure it warms a bit on cold winter nights)

Hardware:
Trying to figure this part out right now - there is tons of xtreme stuff there without a question - the choices are to move threads arounds - or leave it as it is - not sure ?

WOW!!! Very cool!!!

Really wish Promise would sell the R4 or the R6 without the drives. Would buy one up in a heartbeat if I could.
it will be interesting how it will perform with SSDs!

Actually it's full (rack & drive bays), the first U you can't really see as it's a switch and mounted backwards, that's going to be pulled out and put on top to add in a 10bay/1U (2.5" sas) HP 'scratch' array as I need something fast to feed the tape drives (random I/O) and large (3TB+). What I really need though is to replace the 25U rack with a full sized one (stupid decision to only get a half rack, but need something that can dis-assemble so I can move it to the basement). Ideally something that is sound-proofed/for office deployment but those are friggen expensive ($5K+)Looks like you still have a few empty slots

Steve, I have to ask what are you using that puppy for?
Sadly, it is more impressive than the "enterprise" solution we have in my IT dept supporting 1500 people.

The main production use is to act as a file server (10's of thousands of slide images up to 1GB each+ revisions) and vmware guest vmx location. Secondarily, I use it to validate some scalability theories as I'm call on a lot at work for various design/performance/etc troubleshooting so having some grounding really helps even if it's my dime. And, of course, for the fun of it. :P
new home yeah
