Understood. With the expenditure here, can you maybe instead switch to using SFP+ style network cards in the end devices? Maybe get around the RJ45 requirement? Anyway, hope you find something.

Try this MikroTik. Reviewed here. Worth a shot for the price.

I have acquired a like new Supermicro 12 bay server. It was originally built to be a Pivot3 CloudBank. I installed XigmaNAS to test it out. I think it has less than 40 hours of use. It uses the CSE-826 chassis and X8DT3-LN4 mainboard with the SAS-826EL1 backplane to support 12 drives. Has 2...

I've made a guide for these switches. Ultimately, all the different vendors have a syntax that takes some getting used to.

How about software that will fire a script at job start, the script maps the drive, then another script fires upon job completion, unmapping the drive? But yeah, the direct socket connection would be nice too.

As a means of comparison, the power consumption of the Synology DS1819+ is 67w on access and 30w when drives are on standby. A comparison here with a 12bay. See if you could do better on power and price.

Understood, I was wanting to downgrade the firmware in order to extract the certs (to have a complete bypass). I found the older firmware.

I'm trying to locate firmware 1.5.12 or 1.6.9 for my BGW210. It currently has 1.7.17. Does anyone have a link?
