    Hard Drive Selection for 100TB Array

    I actually just checked the August stats. One of the 14TB toshiba is the single most used drive at BB. It has a below average rate of failure (favorable). There’s another 14TB model with a higher rate, but they have less than 2000 drives compared to 32k of the other drive. Seems like a decent...

    Hard Drive Selection for 100TB Array

    That seems like a great price. I was thinking about doing 2 vdevs of 6 drives. Then if I need more space I can just add a third vdev with 6 more. Thanks!!!

    I haven't tried proxmox, but they work great on windows and esxi. I have 2 of these. I use ubuntu to flash them to the RA13 firmware, so I'm guessing they would work fine in debian as well.

    Anyone receive their drives lately? Mine "shipped" on the 13, but still haven't actually shipped. Tracking just says label printed.

    Anyone else with troubles on ASRock ep2c602-4ld16?

    Fully updated... I also ran memtest86 on my bad RAM. I ran it for 4 days thinking it had to eventually figure it out...nope. I didn't try any tests in Linux, just memtest86+. It said it was just fine, but once I swapped it out, no issues since.
