Ah, the price for 1TB has gone up to £86.47, I failed to order in time and now I am regretting that!

Okay, I am really starting to get peeved now. So I bought an LSI 9285cv-8e to see if that works, and changing one of the interposers it then showed one of the SATA drives. But because the 9285 doesn't have an IT mode and I didn't have the time to reflash it, I bought a 9207-8e which claims to...

I bought adapters to do this from Taobao and sold them on here a while back. I don't think I have anymore because I sold what I had when I got rid of my dual Xeon-D Akamai board. The process of ordering from Taobao was really complicated, involving a forwarding agent because it's a Chinese only...

The ones I bought were OCP to PCIe to breakout an OCP motherboard connector to a PCI-e slot. I got them on Taobao, but the ordering process was painful.

Last night I checked and swapped one of the 2TB Constellation drives for a Seagate Ironwolf, new out of the box, and the caddy/interposer was still orange and blue light flashing occasionally. Reading the installation manual it seems that indicates "fault, drive spinning" but that's all I've...

Hi, I've got my hands on an EMC KNX-STL3 and aside from a UPS shipping issue with the first unit (DOA) the current unit is starting up fine. It came with one Samsung 200GB SAS SSD, two Toshiba SAS 15k 2.5in 600GB disks and 12*2TB HGST(?) disks. I have it connected to an Adaptec ASR-71605...

I've bought some Epyc gear from Chinese sellers and have had a fair experience, so I can make recommendations if you like.

I bought a used EMC STL3 array last weekend, the array was sent by the seller via UPS and well, it arrived bruised. It's been dropped at some point and the packaging didn't save it (it looks like the top foam was missed so it slid out and bashed against the inside of the box). The case is...

I am not sure how it would work, but you could use something like the authentication used for PPP connections. Possibly EAP-TLS? But while traditional CHAP and PAP can be separated from the IP stack, I am not sure if EAP-TLS can be? Perhaps a PAM module which authenticates the TLS?

I removed the filter that was applied, which might have been confusing. It's basically two pairs of columns, the SP3 and the TR4, with the Pin designators the same and the Pin name applied. I've then selectively coloured the cells so that you can see what matches, what almost matches and what...

Just to document what I did somewhere public, rather than losing it, nothing special but for history it might save someone some time. There's a Google spreadsheet here: http://www.hwbattle.com/bbs/board.php?bo_table=cpumbram&wr_id=169038&ckattempt=2 Then I added conditional highlighting and...

A kinda nasty option? There are PCIe risers from the GPU wars which support at least 4 outputs on one slot, you could use one of those with 2 or 4 network cards. There are also PCIe to 4x M.2 sockets and then find a 2.5G card in M.2 form factor (subject to your Motherboard allowing...

Title says it all really, looking for a total of 128GB (so either 8x16GB or 4x32GB), aiming for 2Rx8, Micron preferably as the H11SSL-i recommends that.
