    Which 3u case do you have? I'm local to you, I believe I have a pair that might work.

    Alternative to Sophos UTM

    How does AV/Malware/web filtering work? Do you install a local SSL cert from XG? Essentially MITM?

    SAS SSD 3.3v tape mod = amber light

    It took a while as you mentioned. I guess it's impossible to determine if it shifted unless you take it back out. Would it shifting be the reason?

    SAS SSD 3.3v tape mod = amber light

    I have a U-Nas 810a. The backplane is passthrough with 4pin molex for power. In order to get my Micron SAS SSD to be detected I had to do the 3.3v pin tape trick. The drive is detected, but the activity light is always illuminated amber. I had to the the same on 3 WD drives, but the amber...

    Lukewarm: eBay: 1TB SSD Intel DC P4500 SSD NVMe PCIe U.2 with ePLP $119 + free ship

    Write speed is slow for this drive. Isn't that what you don't want for a cache drive?

    Source for a hot swap case in Canada?

    You can order from ebay to Home - CrossBorder Pickups and pickup in Mississauga for a small fee. You still pay duties, but shipping is generally free or way cheaper if you ship to Buffalo and then use that service. Checkout a case like the Supermicro SC743.

    TIL: Snapshots. Don't let them get too big!

    Long story short. I forgot I had taken a snapshot on a Win Server 2016 VM in esxi. I removed the snapshot forgetting that there is a 6TB disk attached. The VM is relatively low when it comes to IO changes. Just a small file server. It's still is taking forever to remove. 6% in the past 20...

    Advice needed: Proxmox vs vSphere

    Not a fan of Proxmox... I don't find it intuitive at all. It's been a struggle to use it. I've tried and I find it more cumbersome than esxi... I've also been using esxi since v3, so maybe that's why. For production use, I believe esxi being locked down is a much better idea. I just can't get...

    Supermicro PSU "Backplate"? ATX Wont fit

    This cant be specific to just the SC733 because I have a 4u case with the same issue... The PSU location has no backing to it. The included PSU attaches via side and back screws. I need to replace the PSU with something else, but cant attach... Is there a solution to this?

    EU Baytech RPC-3A Remote Power Control @ Ebay 35 Euro

    I have one of these that i'm not using. I believe you can telnet into it and setup through there, not just by serial cable. I stopped using it because of the power draw, also due to the fact that I never actually used it remotely. I'm in the middle of a move, but if someone happens to be in...
