Hey all - been a bit but I've been running a TrueNAS setup with all 960/1.92TB SM863 disks in my lab in mirrors. It works great and I have 36 disks in total, but I am starting to have drive failure and these drives, while easy to find, are all coming in with like 80 - 92% life replacements...
Sorry - I said transcode, but I meant encode. I have many TBs of media I own and ripped native unencoded that I now want to go back and run through HEVC/265.
Thanks! I do have a few ConnectX-2 but they do not work or show up in Windows 11 unfortunately. Show up in ESXi 6.0, but not Windows 11.
I will give a ConnectX-4 a shot -- I have Finisar optics. Any specific ConnectX-4 PN#?
Hey all - I put together a B650E-E w/ 7950X3D (was a 7950X but B&H had the X3D for sale cheaper than I had paid 2 weeks prior, so...) and I threw a Broadcom BCM57810S which is older in. This machine is going to be a media transcode/stream box - it works fine, but after a few days of uptime this...
Hey all - I am using a whacky combo of an Arista 7124SX as my core, a Cisco 3048 for 1 GbE, a Meraki MS220-8P for PoE, and then one of the cheap 2.5 GbE switches STH recommended for my desktops that uplink to the 7124SX over SFP+.
Is there a 2.5 GbE/PoE 12-24 port switch with SFP+ uplink...

Hey all I am trying to upgrade my lab and as such have a few DIMMs for sale. I have 16x16GB 2Rx4 14900R which are M393B2G70DB0-CMA, and 16x32GB HMT84GL7AMR4C-RD which are 4Rx4 32GB 14900 DIMMs.
Let me know if interested!
Edit: I can also throw in 2x Intel E5-2680v2 to anyone who buys...
Hi all -
Decommed my FreeNAS box and have the memory and CPUs left over. There are 10 DIMMs of Samsung 16GB 2Rx4 PC3-12800R and 6 DIMMs of Samsung 16GB 2Rx4 PC3-14900R. I was running both in my system with no issue of course because the 14900R will run at 12800R.
I also have the CPUs from...
Hi all - I have a lot of 8 Western Digital 4TB Red NAS drives that have been sitting in a ZFS pool doing nothing for about two years since having moved to 8TB disk, and now 18TB disks. They have been great for me and have had no issues. They ran in my Synology 8-bay, then FreeNAS, now TrueNAS...
Hey all -
Have an Arista 10 Gbps "core" in my lab. But, I've also got a random smattering of 10/100/1000 ports whereas 6 or 7 of them are POE. I used to have a Nexus 3048 as my core and just hang these 10/100/1000 off of it and the Meraki 8P POE I have. Tired of renewing license. Tired of...
I've been using the system for a few years, I just needed more cores to avoid contention. I am using both the 1.20 version of the Supermicro board and an R620. Each host now has 2697v2 and 512GB of RAM. All good.
