It will go into my rack cabinet so I COULD do a 1U format.
I would prefer something sitting on a shelf in the rack (next to my QNAP
NAS) about the size to handle 2 HD and system board.
Enough memory for Centos and the mail server software. Perhaps 2Gb is
enough? 4Gb nice to have (anti-virus could eat up memory at times?)
Oh, has to be Intel not ARM (iRedMail req)
I don't need hot swap. I just did a drive replace on my QNAP and it
took ~10min to power down and swap drives. Took 10hr to mirror to the
new drive.
I DO want it all in the box. No external drives.
And I don't want to build my own hardware. I want to buy it, install
drives, attach boot ISO, and install away.
Low power like 40W or less good.
This help?

It depends on the structure of the drives. Do you want a dedicated
controller card or is an embedded card on the motherboard acceptable?
Entry Level Dell Poweredge T150 servers could work, or build your own
rig with an SLI MegaRAID or HighPoint RocketRAID dedicated controller
card.
There are configurations like this in a Rackmount configuration, tower
configurations, or Mini Server configurations, it all depends on what
kind of space / budget / environment it is going in.
Reply back with more details if you want a better answer.

I am looking for a box I can drop Centos or one of the spinoffs that:
Has RAID1 internal (not an external USB RAID thing)
Can be software or hardware
small (4TB/drive fine) and low power
I plan to use it ONLY for email server. perhaps iRedMail
I have spent a lot of time looking and not finding any such piece of
metal.
All I find are NAS boxes with their own OS.
thanks
Bob (frustrated)
