Hi Guys,
I'm pretty new to 'server' builds but need to create a system that will be able to record 20 HD video streams @ 25fps. I have created 2x specs for the machine and could do with a few bits of advice:
a) Will this motherboard/CPU handle it?: Intel DX58SO ATX Desktop Motherboard, Intel® Core™ i7-610E Processor (4M Cache, 2.53 GHz).
b) My Chassis has 16 x 3.5" Drive bays in blocks of 4 (1 connection per row of 4 HD's). I obviously need some sort of HD controller to write to the 16 2TB drives i'm going to house. My NVR software allows me to prioritise which HD i write to in which order (1-16) as long as it can see the HD's. I don't want it mirrored in RAID or anything but i guess i will need a RAID controller of some type to connect and view the drives. Any ideas if or how or what i can get to do this without setting it to a particular RAID?
Your suggestions on this build will be great even if they go beyond the initial question, i'm pretty novice.
Thanks,
Rob
