    Identify SATA connector

    Doesn't look like SFF-8087. I included a couple more photos with an SFF-8087 connector. It does look like a SlimSAS connector but the 4i variant. I'm going to try a cable from Amazon just in case I need to return it. Side question - Anyone know of a SATADOM device that could plug into...

    Identify SATA connector

    Hi everyone. Does anyone know what style SATA connector this is? It's on an HPE XL170R Gen10 blade for an Apollo 2600R system.

    Apollo 2600 Gen 10, ProLiant XL170r Gen10 Nodes

    I have one with 4 nodes running at a colo. Did you buy them all together or as separate pieces? I found out the hard way that the chassis are not all the same and the nodes will only power up on the right chassis.

    Cables: SFF-8643 | Oculink | Slim-SAS... etc.

    Bought cheap Oculink via Amazon. Had errors, hangs and disappearing drives on POST. Got Supermicro cables and they are rock solid after over of year of operation. Fortunately, it's no longer available: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09C1WKLF8/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1

    Can a desktop computer's power supply last over a decade?

    Oh, before that Corsair I had two Tagen 1000 watt power supplies that were regarded as excellent. Both died several years ago.

    Can a desktop computer's power supply last over a decade?

    I have a Corsair AX1200 that I purchased in January 2011. It's still going strong in my Corsair Obsidian 800D case (purchased the same time). I believe the motherboard has been upgraded 4 times, maybe 5. The first video card in that case/power supply was a 8800 GTX times 3 for triple SLI and...

    Seagate XS7680SE70094 - IBM Part

    Hello everyone. I picked up one of these drives off Ebay and I can't seem to get it recognized by my SAS controller (LSI 3008 onboard controller on a Supermicro MB). During POST (while the controller scans the bus), the drive doesn't show up. Other SAS and SATA drives show up fine, including...

    WD 2TB M.2 SATA and Proliant X170R Gen 10

    Hi everyone. I'm trying to install a couple of these SATA SSDs into the built in M.2 riser on a Proliant X170R node for an ESXi datastore. It works and is recognized, but after a few minutes of operation, iLO5 reports that sensor 60 (AHCI HD) reports a high temp situation and the server shuts...

    Current router on its way out... possible replacement?

    Is one access point enough to cover your home? Is it enough to handle all your wireless clients? You might benefit in adding an additional access point and theoretically splitting all your wireless clients between two APs and therefore, two separate gigabit connections.
