Given the love the CRS305-1G-4S+IN got here? Basically, it comes down to when they review it. Not if, but when. Wonder if L3HW is supported on release day.

Those are actually Rittal DK 5502.155. That should make procurement a lot easier :) :edit: Alternatively: Rittal SZ 2597.000. Those only work in the small round holes, though. Then again, they cost a lot less per piece.

Those are Fibre Channel Arbitrary Loop (FCAL). Avoid the pain and just forget it.

Removing one of the controllers might help, basically closes down the unused path from the backplane. Contrary to the MD1200, which allows for 3,5" SATA disks, the MD1220s Drive Support Matrix does not list any SATA disks: https://dl.dell.com/topicspdf/powervault-md1200_support-matrix_en-us.pdf

That's an annoying bug. Probably doesn't help that the PX02SMs were release before SAS3 controllers were generally available. They were actually one of the very first SAS3 SSDs ever built.... https://www.storagereview.com/review/toshiba-px02sm-series-sas3-enterprise-ssd-review

Since you are running SATA disks, did you try the MD1220s with just the first controller installed? I'm guessing you're not using Interposers, right? Btw, you do realise that those drives are SMR, right? DM-SMR to be exact.

What speed are the other disks working at? 6G or 12G? :edit: Are the Toshiba Disks from Toshiba themselves, or Dell/HP/Fujitsu/etc branded? Dell for instance have released 3 firmware updates for the PX02 series.

Theoretically, it might be possible, if you had the smaller CPU heat sinks (not standard in SFF case) and sufficient SAS Ports. The 3.5" disk midplane is placed behind the fan wall, above right the CPUs.

Yes, it'll do that and more. Just be sure to install the current SwOS 2.13 or higher. You will definitively want to get the CRS309 over the 305 for it's better switch chip. They're adding wirespeed routing with RouterOS 7 (currently beta) and the 309 actually support NAT and Fasttrack...

Sorry, but the clue is in the cables name: DAC - Direct Attach Copper/Cable. If you want to use patch panels for a clean look, then you'll have to switch to transceivers and fibre cables.

How about a Netapp A250? Am quite happy with the previous A200 and A220s myself. And with the upcoming OS Release ONTAP 9.9 the GUI should be full function once more. Will be using 9.7Px until then :)

Eh, consindering "cray cray" is used in the context of crazy.... not too far off? :D

They arrived today :)

Did you check whether the cables are in the correct order in the 3-pin plug? If I remember correctly, Cisco went went with a non-standard order. At least they did with the SG300s. Normally a 3-pin fan would go ground-vdc-tacho. With the SG300 fans however they used vdc-tacho-ground.

Same :( Same situation as before. Private browsing on iPhone Safari, when opening any article on the main site. 4G (o2 Telefonica) or WiFi (ISP "1&1 "). Accessing from Germany.
