    Any current issues with Vertex3?

    I'm about to build a new work computer, and vertex3 seems like the clear choice for a max speed 240GB drive. Any reason to get an m4 instead? Used to be some stability issues with vertex, is that still the case?

    Poor NFS read performance

    Flow control is off (I'd already read your post). CPUs are mentioned in the initial post, a Q6600 and a phenom x2 3.2ghz

    Joint Stereo vs Stereo (?)

    If you have an environment where you can easily tell the difference between the 2, then recreate that environment, play both types, decide which you like the sound of better, and use that.

    Poor NFS read performance

    So, I'm trying to increase my NFS read performance, as I feel I should be able to consistently get into the 90s or 100s: First 1976844+0 records in 1976843+0 records out 1012143616 bytes (1.0 GB) copied, 14.3723 s, 70.4 MB/s That's my current speed reading some random file (not...

    ZFS: Reccomend me a disk config

    No, I'm talking about the equivalent of raid50. Stripe raid5s together, not raid1s. I have not had a chance to do performance testing, as I'm still on my first 5 drives (running out of space though, I'll be buying more soon). I can't imagine performance is going to be that bad, and surely...

    ZFS: Reccomend me a disk config

    Correct, that's my mistake (and more than a minor nit, people reading this could easily get confused). Thanks for the catch! Again, I'd like to repeat that my way may or may not be the best way, but I think it's worth consideration, especially for home environments where "lots of storage with...

    ZFS: Reccomend me a disk config

    Instead of running raidz2 or raidz3 with lots of disks, consider running several raidz1s striped together. This gives you the flexibility to grow over time, and the flexibility to upgrade over time without having to overhaul the entire set of disks. I've chosen to go with 5-disk raidz1s...

    Where to get HP SAS Expander with guaranteed firmware

    Where can I find a reasonable $$ (<$250) SAS Expander that has the most recent firmware? I don't want to get stuck having to find some HP machine sitting around so that I can update it.
