    Your home ESX server lab hardware specs?

    I just read online that ESXi free version only supports up to 32GB of ram... so maybe you aren't so bad off in that scenario. The ECC part yes I am going that route off the bat.

    Your home ESX server lab hardware specs?

    I plan to run an internal datastore drive using mirrored SSD since I only plan to run a Linux VM (mounting ZFS storage), a Windows VM, and a few smaller VMs to play with as I need them. I was shooting for 16GB of ram out of the gate in the FreeNAS VM but plan to put in 32GB with room for 32GB...

    Your home ESX server lab hardware specs?

    My layout is 20xST32000641AS in a raid6 configuration with the drive presented to linux and LVM from there with a simple EXT4 filesystem for each breakout. Here are the commands below for reference: (05-08-2013 02:08 PM)-> dd if=/dev/zero of=bench_file bs=2048k count=50k 51200+0 records in...

    Your home ESX server lab hardware specs?

    I am considering moving away from a Raid Card to a ZFS based system for more flexibility. What kind of read/write performance at the local disk level and at the CIFS level? I am experiencing the current speeds locally: 1000000+0 records in 1000000+0 records out 8192000000 bytes (8.2 GB)...

    Thermalright AXP-100 CPU Air Cooler Review @ [H]

    I wonder how this would fit on a ITX board... I have a A75M-ITX and had a nice cooler but had to remove it and replace it with STOCK since it required me to remove the motherboard over and over to remove the cooler to access the ram sticks. I like the fact this one doesn't go over the sticks of...

    PCH A-300 On Order

    I used to be an owner of the older A-110 and bought mine originally for the fact it could BitStream HD audio. Beginning of this year I gave up the PCH option and opt'ed for a custom HTPC for each room in the home. I loved my PCH in the beginning but the SLOW network really upset me to the...

    HDHomeRun Prime (cable card)

    I own a HDHomeRun Prime 3CC which is 3 Tuners on a single Cable Card. The unit itself is nice and compact with little fuss. However things will vary depending on what kind of setup you will be using it with... For example if you are PURELY using the device on Windows Media Center then you have...

    HTPC take 2

    FYI XBMC Live on the AMD APU isn't recommended.... Best bet is to use windows and then XBMC (windows version). There is some issues with sound/drivers currently floating around and someone who isn't well versed in Linux would have a hard time.

    *Official* Norco data storage products thread

    I ordered the 120MM plate along with my RPC-4220. The plate arrived yesterday and so did my 3 Gentle Typhoon AP15s. The RPC-4220 arrives today so looking forward to it. I did notice the 120MM plate does move the cable holes slightly to the right versus the center as in the default model.

    *Official* Norco data storage products thread

    so I just pulled the trigger on a RPC-4220 from Newegg, I have an Areca 1880ix-16 and was wondering if anyone knows if the SFF-8087 cables that come with the card will reach the backplanes in the RPC-4220? If not could someone recommend a MINIMAL size to get such as .5 Meters?

    *Official* Norco data storage products thread

    How can you determine if you are buying a new style from a vendor? Are there a list of vendors whom sell the new style?

    *Official* Norco data storage products thread

    Has anyone tested the Norco 4220 recently with SATA III / 6gbs drives? I am looking to replace my weird setup with a new device.

    New and Improved Watercooling Sticky - Post Your Systems Here

    The case is a 800d and the lower section with the white fan is a place for MANUAL hard drives to be placed. I used this location to store my 655 pump, the white fan is used to cool the 655 in general and then comes back out. This gives more appeal to the case so the pump isn't seen nor heard :)...
