In case you still haven't found a solution I'm able to pick it up, even this or next week would be fine.

Usually you'd want a IT flashed raid controller to ensure proper compatibility as ZFS wants direct access to the disks. Since your motherboard is already running the same LSI chip you'd get in their raid cards kind of the same applies. I'm not 100% sure if disabling raid in bios will...

These are fine for proxmox as they're datacenter ssd's. I'm personally running these in a bunch of servers using zfs mirror. The price is pretty I'd say but not an absolute steal (for NL pricing).

I know about a couple series that have disks with 4tb+ capacity: - Samsung DC PM9A3 - Samsung PM1733 - KIOXIA CM7-R - Solidigm D7-P5520 Not sure what your exact requirements are but just to name a few :) Not personaly familiar with this disk but Micron had a 7400 Pro series that is available...

Qemu schedules the io of the disks with the main thread and therefore lands in a queue handled by the cpu. I had the same results testing with Intel Optane and ram disks on older cpu's, at a certain point you'll be cpu bound. What cpu are you using? Also keep in mind you're using consumer...

Bought from this seller outside of these forums, can confirm seller is trustworthy!

There are a few threads on reddit / github with lists of apps you can host yourself. Some media related of course, but also a bunch of nice-to-have apps for your home network. I recommend scrolling through this github repo: https://github.com/awesome-selfhosted/awesome-selfhosted

Got sold locally to a fellow tinkerer.

Great little home-lab for small apartment and low power usage. The system is whisper quiet with just slight hum coming from the Big Noctua fan when the system is powered on. Unfortunately don't have the time for homelabbing anymore so I'm hoping I can give this amazing little machine another...

I've had instances before where I was able to access IPMI but the system just wouldn't power up. In some cases I wasn't getting any error messages while trying to power up the system, it simply wouldn't do anything. Pressing the powerbutton wasn't giving any response either. These got solved...

So I had to follow this up. though it's still not completely done, there have been a bunch of improvements. To start off with this one I created a simple script on an arduino to spin the 140mm fan when one or more servers are turned on. After testing out everything on the breadboard I created...

To follow up on this topic, we had two more of these motherboards last month fail and decided it was enough. After contacting Supermicro they stated with the following: It seems to affect both X11DPI-N and X11DPI-NT before July 2018. For reference: The motherboard IPMI will power up and...

Hi guys, I'm working on a little project and though you guys might find it interesting. Not sure if this is the right place but it seemed to be the most fitting in "DIY Server and Workstation Builds". The idea of this project is to quiet down my ceph home lab and create a almost all-in-one...

Sold on Dutch forum, thank you guys for the comments.

I recently switched over to a new home server and have no use for this amazing machine anymore. I'm willing to sell parts if there is more interest in the system that way. Parts list: - Silverstone DS380 - Supermicro a2sdi-h-tf, Atom C3758 2x 10Gb ethernet, 12x sata (Complete with box) - 4x...
