Thank you! I had trouble with Ubuntu trying to get smart data with MegaRAID drivers. I'm moving it to a LSI HBA to get more data.

Toshiba 3.84TB SAS SSD double failure in PERC RAID-1 SSD after 6 months powered off Running in a Dell R730, PERC H730 mini. Amber Lights on the drives. Other Crucial SSD is continuing to run fine. iDRAC reported Physical Disk State: Failed for both drives I can't get any more detailed...

Looking at options for both the Server and UPS. Anyone have good luck with the Eaton 5PX UPS? $400 delivered is a bit much but fresh batteries https://www.ebay.com/itm/Eaton-5PX-5PX1500RT-1440VA-1440W-120V-2U-Rack-Tower-UPS-w-New-Battery-Warranty/332853341954

Thanks this is for a homelab and I only have a 120v 15amp circuit. I might be able to move to a 20amp circuit but that would require electrical work.

Good luck. If you find an extra or a 2-pack of non-full sized quiet racks, please let me know. The government recyclers may be a good source.

< $400 depending on batteries and the unit. SRT1000RMXLA is one option but open to ideas.

WTB Rackmount UPS 1000-1500 VA, NEMA 5-15P. Flexible 2-4U in height. Bonus points if near Boston to NH area for pickup Only have a 15amp Standard US 110v NEMA 5-15P input. Sine-wave output. Double conversion OnlineUPS not desired but considered (due to more noise/heat/overhead). WTB 2U...

Is this the direct attach backplane (need 16 ports on HBAs) or the expander backplane?

This is for a new Supermicro S1010XRi so I am flexible with mainstream brands.

Thanks, got them. DDR4 1866/2133 ECC Reg RAM for E5-2680v3 ~64GB Total: 16GB Reg ECC DIMMs or larger

Wow disappointing for WD. Perhaps many NAS use cases are very light but when that does not occur you have a mess. Anyone had issues related to this and under what load?

What are the best deals on DDR4 RDIMMs? Here was the best I found so far: 32GB DDR4 DDR4-1700 ECC Reg $91/each Samsung 128GB 4X32GB 2RX4 2133MHz DDR4-17000 288PIN ECC Registered Server Memory Samsung 128GB 4X32GB 2RX4 2133MHz DDR4-17000 288PIN ECC Registered Server Memory | eBay...

WTB 2 x 40GBe Cards: * Chelsio T580-LP-CR * T580: Chelsio T580-SO-CR * Intel XL710-qda2 If possible also need Full Height or source for cheap brackets, and short 40G QSFP+ DAC Cables. Are their any of the Intel XL710s with the bad silicon in the wild we need to worry about?

Thank you, nice only a single P4800x sounds great. Do you have any guesses on the idea on the performance of a setup like this? I can't find much online. Other better ways to do this? I wish ZFS had the new SSD Tiering features the developers are talking about on finished. HP Nimble...
