Mine aren't extremely loud either but i was hoping to make them quieter. They are the loudest thing i have in the rack, beating out my brocade icx 7250 although at a lower pitch. For reference my fans SYS0-SYS3 are running between 3100-3500RPM and SYS4-SYS7 are running between 4000-4600RPM. My...

Has anyone found a good solution to control the fan speed? These run a bit too loud for me with the rack being in the kitchen. I'm considering a stand alone PWM controller or just swapping the fans outright for something quieter and keeping BMC fan control.

Same here. 4 rails (2 sets) that came with mine all wrong. Got replacements and 3 of the 4 rails good with 1 closer but still not correct. Got another response from the seller saying another set is coming.. meaning 2? I only need 1 and now have 5 (2.5 sets) rails sitting here with nothing to use...

Yeah P/N does show it's a SAS3108. Both servers i got have the same card so guess i got lucky indeed. I'm using the server for freenas build and it looks like you can run it in JBOD mode although SMART data might be an issue. If i run into issue i do have a pcie 3008 i might just throw in.

For the SAS3008, anyone know if it fits the current 9271 bracket that came with the server. Is it a simple swap and add back in? Looks like it might line up from the pictures

They were quick to respond on ebay and are working to send the correct rails. Here's the response i got.

Same issue here. I got two of these servers and both have the same set of rails, neither match the pegs on the server! Also i haven't used rails like this, do the ends of the rails go on the outside or sit on the inside of the rack with all the weight of the server resting on the screws? I...

What kind of noise levels do these put out. Interested in using either of the 2u for homelab that runs in the kitchen. Some noise is just fine, i have an Dell r420 and some 4u supermicro's, but i can't have a screamer running.

A family member works a Micron and was able to procure a few for me. They are big and run very hot!!! you will need some good airflow from a proper server case! Even so, all 4 of mine have died in a short time causing IO freeze on any system they are plugged into. My family member says they also...

Some awesome STH merch would be sweet! I'd wear a STH T-shirt or lanyard w/badge holder. Word of mouth is some of the best and most trusted advertising, what better way to share STH.

I have a couple of these drives in the Micron variant. Out of 8 drives i only have 1 left working, they seem to fail enough i would not recommend them to anyone. The performance is great otherwise :/

I think i have the issue solved. Turned out to be a BIOS setting on the PCIe ports. They were set to EFI rather than legacy and thus couldn't boot the controller. I was worried the SATA cable length spec was causing the issue but it looks like it is indeed reset by the SAS expander. Thanks for...

I just finished building a new JBOD and can't read any drives! oh how frustrating our hobby\lives can be. Hoping some others have also tried a similar setup and can point out where the failure may be. (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻ Setup: Server --> LSI9200-8e --> sff-8088 --> SFF-8088 to SFF-8087 pci bracket...
