I only wanted to get the i226 to make 100% sure I was not getting an older board with the defective first gen i225 NICs 255can$ vs 155 can$ yeesh, that is quite a big difference ...

OK, barebones it is. 55 can$ will get me 250G adata NVME and 8GB gskill SODIMM. Any idea how to contact CW customer survice to request they include the fan for a few extra $$$

Having never purchased china direct before, advice would be appreciated. After 94 pages it seems the right purchase for a standalone PFSENSE /OPNSENSE box is the 4 i226 interface model with the v5 motherboard, and the 5105 CPU, specifying that I want the optional fan included and to purchase it...

Do you know if they are flashed to current firmware, or with the "IT" mode that is best for truenas etc? Are they LSI branded / take LSI firmware? maybe something else? I an in Alberta, and could use one right away, but it needs to be something I can use in my ASUS X299 system.

That makes sense. sorta like a port multiplier on the SATA side. That explains the extra connectors, those must be Iinput.

what is an expander card? Is this functional as a 16 port sas / sata HBA?

What is the best version of the driver to be used in Windows 10 now in Dec 2020? With the move to Nvidia, I don't see the driver, and Windows installed 5.50.14695.0. (2019)

yup. Veeam endpoint backup for windows is awesome. set it up, configure how many days worth of backups you want to keep, and let it be.

Also a good home free NAS OS is openmediavault. it read/writes 400-500MB/sec with a 10gig network, to a 4 DISK RAID 5, and my windows 10 desktop. To / from the NVME drive in the NAS I can get 1GB/sec (all on large files) https://forum.openmediavault.org/

For folks that want simple, a switch makes everything much simpler. if you don't need ful 10 gig then 2.5gig cards are cheap and the 99$ 5 port qnap switch makes everything fast and easy. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1585104-REG/qnap_qsw_1105_5t_us_qsw_1105_5t_5_port_2_5gbps.html

Thank you so so much for this. I have a system right now running Xpenology and was looking at more "legitimate" options, FreeNas being one of them. This is what I see today from Windows 10 to with my existing storage system i5-8600K,64GB, Intel 10G, 1500MTU 80% full 7x8TB Ironwolf in R5...

It comes with using cards designed for high airflow servers in low airflow systems. I have even had to mount a 120mm fan blowing down on my 10 gig intel NIC and my LSI HBA. Using a DAC cable or SFP+ fibre transceivers will gen less heat than any cat5/6 options. Using an old/hot chipset w...

pfsense on mine runs in lowest power modes (800 Mhz) virtually always, and my 1 /5 /15 min CPU usage is often under 1% when I check. Idle describes it to me :) I have 940 mbps fiber based internet. Blue fox has it right IMO, idle power consumption is what really matters here and most CPU in the...

have you tried a fan on your PC's 10GBE NIC? I know mine was flakey till I put a little 40mm fan on its heat sync. was only about 10$, and plugged into a spare fan header on the systemboard

That was my error, the file name was confusing. it was indeed 71 that I applied.

Note that there is a new firmware released for these. well, new since the deal we bought them. They came with DOMU051 and there is now DOMU081

PCIE3 as well. lots of the inexpensive NICS are PCIE2. That difference makes this perfectly usable in a 4 lane slot. If I could get a breakout cable that allowed 10GiGE SFP+ support, I would be all over it.

I finally got around to flashing mine from hp 15.10.7 to the latest 20.0.0.7 and I found that I had to do it as thingy2098 describes. added in a spare hdd that boots win 10 and flash the bin/rom with the old v14 flash tool. I skipped the rom the first time and while it still flashed, it wasn't...

That was actually the primary driver for me. I will try these in my switches and SFTP+ NICs, perhaps pick up a couple 2.5 / 5 gigabit per second NICS PCiE and USB, increase my performance in areas that I can't easily run fiber to, or change NICS in. It will be interesting to see what benefit it...

Interesting product. Important point is that these are the initial versions, without jumbo frame and diagnostics details. still, for the money, they are pretty interesting. MikroTik S+RJ10 SFP+ RJ45 10Gbps Copper Module | eBay 39$ us$ each list price, but I did a best offer of $30 ea. for...
