1x ASMedia Technology Inc. ASM1061 SATA IDE Controller
SSD
2x Intenso 120GB
HDD
4x Seagate 1TB (ST1000LM048)
Hardware-Setup
The System runs in this Configuration since 4 years I suppose. (Today I would not choose normal HDDs for Storage – but 4 years ago they were a lot cheaper than SSDs)
The Case is kind of a small desktop case so it can fit easily in many places, it needs an TFX-PSU. This whole setup needs in idle about 20Watts and up to 40Watts.
Both SSDs are in a RAID1-Configuration which means all data is mirrored. So one Disk can fail without data loss.
All HDDs are in a RAID5-Configuration which means the data is distributed but secured by parity, so there can also one Disk fail without any data loss.
