    iscsi/pxe boot on Dell Wyse possible?

    If there is a bios option (personally, I don't get any new enough T/Cs in my line of work) then in theory it should work. Willing to bet someone on here knows! Looks like it may have to be enabled, Dell states there are three options for the internal NIC, Disabled, Enabled, Enabled w/PXE...

    Hearing protection for servers

    Last time I was on site at a seriously loud (I think 85+ db, one of the loudest I’ve worked at) COLO I stole some 3M ‘ear defenders’, and I have to say they fit nice and work well. Was not able to try the Bluetooth headphone part because they were dead. Would buy if I was still doing a ton of...

    Can´t initialize 3.84TB sas drives

    I got another batch of these again, yet again poor health. Only 77% for the entire lot. I miss the 1.6TB HGST drives, those were tanks, still at 93% after multiple PBW. Hope you figured this out!

    Can´t initialize 3.84TB sas drives

    I did have issues seeing some Toshiba PX04 12G SAS3 SSDs in an R330 (13th gen dell). PERC H330 card would see it in the BIOS but would not pass through to any linux os. My best guess was the Hitachi firmware?? potentially on the disks. They were some really low health (~60% or less) SSDs that I...

    Wholesaler for used servers?

    My team has asked for photos of both sides of the 64GB DIMMs, if you have them and could add them to the library that would be great! Thanks!

    [WTB] US - MA Synology RX415 DX517 Any 6Gb/s E-SATA Synology Enclosure

    Hi All! Looking to expand my Synology's drive capacity. Looking for a DX517 Ideally, but will take E-SATA rackmount units (Such as an RX415) as well for the right price. (They can supposedly work with a driver tweak). Let me know what you've got and what you want for it! Thanks everyone...

    Wholesaler for used servers?

    @tjk I work for a small company out of New England that just does this stuff. I would need an inventory sheet to get a pickup. Turn around is usually a lot quicker than the big guys - that's our best point! And I know we offer good buyout prices & timelines. Those look like nice systems too...

    HGST HUSMM1616ASS201 Shows as SAS 6Gbps after changing values in Niagara for 12Gbps (**** EMC)

    Hey everyone, I've been having issues with these stupid HGST 1.6TB SSDs HGST HUSMM1616ASS201 Shows as SAS 6Gbps, when the datasheet reports the drive family as 12G SAS. It does have an EMC part number, so I'm assuming the firmware is choking/ rate-limiting the disk? I followed the Niagara 4.3...
