Those adapters exist. A bit pricey, though.

I'm pretty sure basic OpenWRT will handle this fine. I have an older Netgear router with OpenWRT that's configured to grab my phone's hotspot if available and use it as a WAN for a LAN of vintage computers.

My understanding is that your special vdev should be as redundant as your pool as it's a load-bearing member, so presumably the triple-mirrored suggestion is if you were using RAIDz2. If you're using a pool of mirrors or RAIDz1 you're probably okay with a simple mirror.

Nope, it came up without my changing anything. Depending on your operating system you may need to deal with loading the target driver instead of the initiator one for your HBA (TrueNAS Scale has this problem, at least with Qlogic cards), but that's straightforward.

For what it's worth, I'm running a LTO5 drive in my Fractal Design Define R5 as described by those Reddit users. Notes in case they're helpful: The LTO5 FC drives lack the shutter on the tape slot, so the drive's always hanging open. I've even seen drives that are missing the front plate...

I use Virtual Here to pass a Dualsense connected to my Mac Studio to a Windows 11 gaming VM on my server. It works well and has a very generous free trial.

Bumping, remain interested in getting rid of the IMB-X1314 if there are any takers. Open to negotiating, too!

If you're willing to drop the IDS/IPS requirement, Wyse 5070 Extended thin clients are less that $100 on eBay and work well with a dual 10G NIC. The PCIe slot taps out at 2.0x4, but that's enough for 18 Gbps total traffic on your LAN and WAN interfaces. Mine's been great with OPNSense. A nice...

If your motherboard supports 4x4x4x4 bifurcation of your PCIe x16 slot, you can use a passive card like this. If not, you'll need a card that has a PCIe switch; there's a good thread here about those.

~70W from the wall with a 16GB Optane boot drive, 2 1TB Inland Pro drives, two 32GB DIMMS, and 7 spinners.

Building off what @Scott Laird said (and apologies if this is taking us off topic) I've always considered fiber a "it works or it doesn't" thing, particularly with bend damage. Is that actually the case, or are there gradations?

Yeah, you don't need a HBA, you just need the raw storage devices passed through to the VM. For SATA or SAS you can do that by passing through a HBA (or your motherboard's SATA controller if you don't need Proxmox to access it); for NVMe, PCIe passthrough should do just fine. You planning to use...

Optane sold, still potentially looking to get rid of the IMB-X1314.

Editing this to bump as the Optane is still available. Also looking to get rid of a Asrock Industrial IMB-X1314. This is a pretty well-provisioned mATX board for LGA 1700 and has the W680 chipset so it supports ECC RAM. I've been reasonably happy with it, but I've moved my Plex container back...

Updated to account for sold items! Please feel free to make an offer on the Optane--I'd like it out of the house at this point.

I think all of the Thunderbolt 3 enclosures out there are using the same handful of Intel chipsets, mostly based on the reference design. I'd be pretty surprised if there was that much of a difference beyond quirks of each generation.

Found this little guy on eBay; seems to be a fair bit below market. This is the lower-end model with a Core 3 100U, but that's still a 2P4E processor with two Thunderbolt 4 ports. Might make a nice little box, particularly when combined with a PCIe chassis.

Is it possible to transfer the Window 10 license on these to another machine? Been toying with the idea of getting one, and it functioning as a reasonable discount on an enterprise license would be a nice sweetener; I'd almost certainly be throwing Linux on it, anyway.

Hello! Want to get rid of some stuff I'm not taking full advantage of and pass it along to folks who'd get more out of it. Shipping included; local pickup available in Chicago. Asrock Industrial IMB-X1314 ($300, $370 w/ 12600K) This is a pretty well-provisioned mATX board for LGA 1700 and has...

Wanted to echo the "mlx5 is terrible" sentiment. I have a ConnectX-4 in an external enclosure and in my testing it performs worse than my built-in 10 Gigabit port; the ConnectX-4 reads at 641.9 MB/s from a NVMe mirror in my main server where the built-in NIC does 820.1 MB/s. Speeds don't...
