MacMini Server 2011 Part I
Part I: Intro and Goal.
Part II: Preparations.
Part III: Installation.
Part IV: Settings.
Intro:
My G5, dual 2Ghz and 8GB ram, server was still working like a charm.
(Including a G5 Jive to add 4 extra Internal Sata disks - total 6 Internal Disks)
But the downside:
- Heat, lots of heat. I even placed an airco in my server room.
- Costs, A PowerMac G5 uses max 604 Watt. Add the airco time and your monthly bill will increase rapidly.
- Noise, Due to the major fans, the heats it generates. I (sound)isolated the server room.
Goal:
My own new web/mail/file/media server that generates less noise, heat and uses less power. And the right storage solution.
Solution:
MacMini Server 2011 (2Ghz i7 Quad-core, 2 x 750 GB HD @ 7200 and 16GB RAM)
MacMini uses: 8W (Idle) 18W (regular use) 85W (max)
Sound: Silent (no sound)
MacMini server: English - Dutch
2 X 8 GB ram: English - Dutch
Empty Enclosure for my 4 extra Internal HD's (JBOD)
OWC RackPro Uses: 16W (Idle) 24W (regular use) 100W (max)
Sound: Silent (no sound)
Thunderbolt to eSata: Thunderbolt Adapter and eSATA adapter
(two eSata connectors for future grow)
Why eSata and not USB3:
USB3 is theoretically faster but eSata has no latency what makes it high responsible and low/none system resource use.
