Thanks! Just picked up the 5-pack to replace my R600s. Good to get supported firmware and a bit more power to punch through thick walls.

Count me in the fan club too! Running most of my homelab workloads on a pair of these for years and have even used them as plotting drives for Chia crypto without much of a hit to endurance.

I actually purchased one from them yesterday for 240 + 18 shipping. They might go lower but I was impatient to replace my old t730. Definitely great little boxes for the money.

I use Fujitsu hardware quite a bit at work and have been very pleased with their initial and long term failure rate. I was sad when my sales rep told me they’re exiting the North American market for enterprise hardware.

WL = White Label = relabeled drive warrantied by the seller instead of the manufacturer Based on the specs, I'm guessing HGST Ultrastar DC HC550

I vote yes! 10gbit to a file server in the home is really nice

Thanks! Picked up one to put in my hackintosh. The short depth should help a lot.

I got an offer accepted at 2 for 500. may try to throw some lightweight encoding workloads at this. Any idea what architecture rabb.it used on the software side?

They have some chunky electrolytic capacitors used to flush their RAM when they lose power. The Isilon file system is all software defined so there’s no traditional controller card.

I’ve done the format to a couple of cache drives from an EMC array and it worked out okay. Just take off the board and hook directly to SAS. This was a couple years ago so maybe it has changed but I doubt it. Worth a try! ugh. I couldn’t help myself and pulled the trigger. FWIW the drives I...

I recently had to use a dvd drive to load oracle’s hypervisor as their installer refused to work with usb drives. Also good when vendors paywall their drivers online and your account can’t access them because they managed to mess up the entitlements. That waste of a cd included in the box looks...

Thanks! Just picked up a pair

Your Linux iso collection of course

That's a great use case! Maybe throw squid on there to stretch the Musk-net bandwidth further This is costly, but that density is oh so sweet. Would love to banish the spinning rust from my personal storage.... Seems like that future may be close

Great deal, thanks! I picked up one. It's only a stepped sine wave output, so it's not quite the same as the 2017 deal, but this will fit the bill for my usage
