Instead of TFTP server you could use an USB flash drive. The flash command then will look like this: copy disk0 flash SPR09010j_cd7ufi.bin primary

I see. I was leading in the wrong direction. An enclosure never was the plan. I cam up with this because of the backplane as potential option to single cables. The options are free vented behind the front fans like the other HDDs or free vented on the adaper card on the PCIe slot where less...

Easier to cool for me are the drives bays behind the front fans in my tower housing. But another M.2 NVMe feels ok at one of my PCIe slots. Additional fan I want to avoid due to noise. That's why I have an oversized housing with slow running big diameter fans. Hot swap I do not need at all...

Thank you. My board (Supermicro X10SRH-CLN4F) is an old PCIe 3.0.But In am planning to use PCIe 4.0 drives. Looking to the future, I assume the drives will outlive the board and a solution that also works with PCIe 4.0 I will prefer. I assume this retimer is needed in case of more than one...

Hello, I want to connect two U.3 NVMe (SFF-8639) to the PCIe slot in my home server. But I cannot decide on the adapter solution to go with. Option A: (PCIe to SFF-8639) Using an adapter where the U.3 device is mounted directly on the adaptor in the same way as people usually do with M.2...

This for sure is true. But in this specific case war are talking about a service that depends on locally installed storage. What's the point to migrate the file share service when you have to take down the Proxmox host with build in physical storage? Regarding this point I do not see an...

After all the news about how Broadcom treats his customers, is vmware a product you want to have? Even it would be free today, will it be the case also tomorrow. If you are looking for a free solution without support and if you re-new your system set-up, I would go another way. There are free...

How did you realized the file server and the samba or NFS shares? By running a VM or by adding services to the Proxmox host? I am running TrueNAS Scale in a VM and HDD attached to a SAS controller via PCI passthrough. I am not storing VM on these shares, just Samba and NFS shares. I did not...

There always are more ways to achieve something. But if I understand you correctly your main goal is not to separate networks but to control access to the file shares or services served by your server. These access rights you manage the easiest way by the server itself. A simple network set-up...

Hello, maybe not new to here, but I just realized that with the new firmware update 200.18.7.1.302 Ruckus Unleashed got a new GUI. At lest to me this looks a little bit confusing as I need more clicks to com to each of the points. I personally prefer option menus with more flat structure...

Thank you for this information. I am aware of the need for bifurcation when using more devices than one. My board supports it. My initial question is in general and I guess the answer will be the same if use one or four devices. Thank you again. My board only supports PCI 3.0. So, no benefit...

Hello, what will be the better option to connect U.2 / U.3 NVMe 2.5" SSD to a PCIe slot in a PC? The PC does not have U.2 / U.3 or M.2 connectors. Using PCIe adapter card providing U.2 / U.3 connector e.g. something like this PCIe NVMe adapter card, PCIe to NVMe expansion card, PCIe to...

Do you have a link to the spec? Using the search in Google, Aliexpress and eBay I cannot find anything about this device. The 1U form factor looks interesting to me. EDIT: Or is it a typo? Partaker 1U S12 maybe? Keep us informed about this device.

Did you found something in the meantime? I am asking because I am considering to upgrade my OPNsense firewall to a Sophos SG 310 or SG 330 as used hardware you can get for low prices. Or is it blast from the past that cannot compete any longer if you also consider the price to pay?

Ruckus in Europe is not so popular as it is in USA. Looking on the market here I should consider to sell my one.
