@ealvar Did you update the firmware on it?

On February 20 i bought WD Book 14 TB for £199.31. So it can be better. :)

Bargain Hardware (UK) has a great and the same price for H240. I bought one last year. From what i know, HBA mode is not configured by default and i don't have HP servers, just Supermicro ones. So i couldn't flash / configure the card unfortunatelly. Great guys on Bargain Hardware. :) I bought...

It depends on how many trancodes you need. You can go with Quadro p400 / p600 / P2000 etc.

Do you mean something like RaidStorage SA-F43S7PS-1M-N2 SFF-8643 Mini-SAS To SATA x4 12Gb/s RAID Cable 1m | eBay ?

Hi, Take a look at Fractal Design 7 XL.

Trust me when i am saying that it's harder to find T620 / T730 (or used enteprice parts) at decent prices in Europe. :) This from last winter and it was BO. :) Try to buy to from sellers that are using to sell components pulled from servers. Intel Pro 100 is to old and the power draw is...

Hello, You need a low profile bracket network card. Look for an Intel OEM equivalent (i340 / i350). Please be very careful and avoid fake ones. click

Also there are some rumors that N300 are HGST rebranded drives. I bought WD Book 14TB when it was on sales on Amazon UK and i was thinking to return it when i heard regarding SMR thing but it seems to be ok...

Thank you very much for your replies. I am work now. Please excuse me for not providing all details. Soon i will update informations regarding my configuration and my plans. :)

Hello, I was thinking to buy an Intel 900p 280GB for SLOG and i know that this si the real deal but for the moment i received for free 2 x Intel S4510 DC Series 240GB SATA-III SSD. Has anyone tested this model for Freenas slog? Thank you in advance. Regards!

I recommend you to go with WD instead Seagate Backup Plus. You will find SMR drives if you shuck them. I have two of them in a pool...

Freenas doesn't suport hardware transcoding for the moment. It's working only on Windows and Linux (with modded Nvidia drivers ofcourse). Other users are using Intel CPU's (in separate machines) with Quick Sync support for transcodes. It is better to use Direct Play if you have capable devices.

Bargain Hardware UK Dell PERC H310 12G - FH PCIe-x8 RAID Controller They are good guys, i bought several items from them.

It is possible to receive a fake card if you order from China. I wouldn't take any risk
