    Looking for lower power server to act as storage host

    So, as I am wont to do, I ignored all advice and ordered parts for a Xeon E3-1235L based system. It's not minimal power, but a lot less than I've got now which is the goal. I got a 2U chassis for it to help it be a bit quieter than 1U. Also, that allows me to run multiple half-height PCIE cards...

    Looking for lower power server to act as storage host

    I've seen these around for quite a while. Wasn't sure if there might be better choices

    Looking for lower power server to act as storage host

    My current server setup is getting long in the tooth, and I'm looking to upgrade. Firstly, I need somewhere to move my storage. Currently, I am running a Dual E5-2670 setup that also runs Plex.

    SanDisk CloudSpeed Eco 1.92TB 2.5" SATA $120

    Completely forgot about that. I have a 4246 that I believe has to have the interposers with SATA (I am also currently running SAS in that).

    SanDisk CloudSpeed Eco 1.92TB 2.5" SATA $120

    Is it a terrible idea to get a group of these and a Netapp ds2246 to build a flash ZFS array?

    Time to upgrade?

    I have an old Dell H200E that I bought back in 2015. It is serving it's purpose, but I'm wondering if there is something better that I could run. I have a Dual Xeon E5-2670 that I am using for Plex and an SMB file server. The server has the H200E connected to both controllers of a DS4243 (with...

    Open Compute WindMill v2 Motherboard

    I have an HBA connected to a JBOD unit with SATA disks if that's what you're asking. No NVME though.

    Potential Deal: 2 x Dual 2011 nodes @$199, Quanta Openrack

    I was able to buy some from esisoinc after asking if they sold them. He listed them on ebay and I grabbed what I needed.

    Bug in Intel Atom C2000 series processors?

    Mine was purchased August(?) 2015 Nothing obvious on the motherboard, and I didn't get the stats on the Stepping, etc. It is a fairly critical server and I needed it back up ASAP.

    Bug in Intel Atom C2000 series processors?

    If you're keeping a log of responses, here's how it went for me: 2/7: I contacted vendor, they had not heard anything from SM but would reach out. 2/7 (later): Vendor heard back from SM that there is a recall exchange for this motherboard (A1SRM-2758F) and they will set up an advanced...
