PMing on NIC and Highpoint

Haha I am not sure yet either but I have a spare power supply and a few sticks of memory and getting the KVM cable from eBay.

It was I that PMed BlueFox and ended up sending over a label. Was a little undecisive at first given the shipping but ended up going through with it.

PM sent for the NICs.

I am looking for an M.2 NVMe up to PCIe x8 adapter that would fit in a 1U chassis vertically. Something along the lines of...

Interested as well if abq does not go through with it.

For questions 2-4 it's a yes. For question 5, SAS2 is the answer but only SATA II as well and not SATA III. Just out of curiosity what are you planning to do regarding cooling as that is not a particularly quiet model.

PM'ed

PM incoming.

Didn't read the whole thread thoroughly so sorry if someone else mentioned it, but have you considered virtualizing the firewall and using the hypervisor's power saving features? I have my Sophos virtualized with no issues. Also have you tried to reapply the thermal compound/TIM?

PM incoming for the SFP cables.

Ditto

Even with the environment fan-speed override command?

How is the noise? Acceptable in a homelab?

Did you ever get anywhere with this switch? Can you provide any feedback?

When you get a chance can you post the power consumption if you can measure it, the sound (if it's reasonable for a homelab), and processor (and revision if possible if it's an x86 Atom).

I wonder if this is the x86 or PPC version as it looks like there was 2 variants according to http://productline.inventec.com/switch/Download/D7032Q28B.pdf

What's the noise of this switch like?

Can you compare it to any other equipment as an example? Any things to watch out for with them? Were you able to track down any firmware updates for them?

What is your opinion of these? Do you think they are too loud to be ran in a home?
