    [SOLD] Norco 4220/4224 Front Fan Bezel 3x120mm

    Hmmm I recently decomisioned my 4224 but never had any issues cooling with the stock fan setup. It blows a lot of air even when slowed down for noise. Just ensure you close the vents on any trays you are not using.

    Long duration UPS without completely breaking the bank

    I use a marine inverter/charger Magnum MS2812 but there is a smaller MS2012. It'll run continuous duty (2000w for the MS2012), has a 30A @ 120v input and a big charger (200+ Amp DC). I work in the marine industry so am familiar with them. I got mine used.

    SMART data with DS4486 and HGST NetApp branded drives

    The trays require interposers. SATA disks supported only smartctl -a -d sat will pull smart data on a ds4486

    SAS Expansion - Single Server + External Array vs. Twin Servers, for small network.

    I would go option A But don't bother with a expansion card... get a Netapp DS4246 off ebay. (Or a DS4486 for 48 disks) They're usually quite cheap and great hardware.

    NetApp 4486 for ~$280 shipped

    I didn't pull PSU's out when testing, just ran them unplugged. All fans on them run regardless if they are powered directly or not. I would say noise was the same with 2 or 4 PSUs powered.

    New Home Build Wiring Recommendations 2020 Edition

    I rewired my low voltage during home during a renovation 1.5 years ago. Here are my recommendations and discoveries after the fact; Cat6 wiring: Use boxes of Cat6a. Cost difference to cat5e is negligible and support for video and 10g over cat6a is superior. Cat6a terminates to keystones...

    Brocade ICX Series (cheap & powerful 10gbE/40gbE switching)

    I made one but as others have mentioned it will not support the switch's weight. I have most of the weight sitting on a couple ears mounted under my desk from a print on thingiverse. Also the holes are slightly small for the screws into the switch. The screws will tap a thread in the print if...

    FreeNAS is becoming TrueNAS Core

    I think it comes down to how they split the features between core and the full version
