    Mellanox ConnectX-2 Firmware

    Hello, thanks for posting this. I just got two HP Cards delivered and I was hoping to flash the firmware to 2.10.720 When I try to do so I get the following warning. Not sure what I should do: -E- PSID mismatch. The PSID on flash (HP_0F60000010) differs from the PSID in the given image...

    Comparison: Intel i350-T4 Genuine vs Fake

    Thanks you so much for this post. :) I was wondering why the hell those cards are so inexpensive coming from China and Hong Kong. I was going to buy from USA sellers but looking at all the evidence you provided they also seems to be fakes. I ended up buying used but genuine Intel cards... All...

    Seagate 1TB Constellation SAS 16MB vs 64MB Cache.

    Hello all, I couldn't find any review so I tought I might ask here I am building a ZFS (NexentaStor) SAN (RM31616/X9SCM/1230/16GB/M1015@9211-8i/Intel 10GBe CX4 & 520 SSD for caches) for my XenServers and I was thinking about buying 10x 1TB Hard Drive like the Seagate Constellation SAS: 1-...

    Anyone buy external drives then remove them?

    Absolutely NOT! I wouldn't want to do that. The first part is to remove the plastic stripe surrounding the side and top of the enclosure but then I was stuck... so I found this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iN2ikVYBLK8 The CLICKs and POP sounds are loud and frightening in the video but...

    Anyone buy external drives then remove them?

    Might be the consequence of the restructuring after the floods in Thailand... they probably make less models. I must point out that the serial number on the enclosure and on the drive are never the same. Anyway I keep the original enclosure (and use the USB3 dock!) just in case.

    Anyone buy external drives then remove them?

    Funny you ask... I just bought 2x 3TB Seagate GoFlex External Hard Drives (for 169$ CAD each) and I removed one of them from the enclosure. The interesting part is that the drive inside is a Barracuda XT 7200RPM with 64Mb of cache and best of all a warranty check with Seagate on the bare drive...

    10-Gigabit Ethernet (10GbE) Networking - NICs, Switches, etc.

    Thanks MiniKnight. I will look in the NexentaStor documentation about this. :) All I want is the XenServers 1 & 2 to be able to "see" the content of the NexentaStor SAN and get the benefit of motion & copy between the XenServers... all this without an expensive 10Gbe Switch.

    Hello all, First post here. Awesome site btw, I was glad when I found I was not alone doing this kind of stuff! :D Anyway, I have a question and I was hoping you guys can help me answer this. I am in the same boat about 10Gbe switch... I am currently building a NexentaStor SAN for use with 2...
