    Old Netgate Appliance for cheap NTP Server?

    Assign the IP and then trunk the vlans to communicate with it or point a route to it from each vlan.

    Old Netgate Appliance for cheap NTP Server?

    Why not plug it into the managed switch and put it into trunk mode for the port and allow it to communicate with the other vlans?

    UM790 Pro - sleeping

    It seems like there's something hidden in the registry or elsewhere that still allows it to sleep. Windows is a pita sometimes. I've disabled all of the same stuff on my laptop and if I kill off processes and let it sit idle it will go to sleep. If I leave something running that boosts the CPU...

    Need help to identify issue

    What happens when you hit the physical power button? Check the wires for the button on the header for the correct polarity and try again.

    Help me decide on homelab upgrades

    Well, that's an Intel thing but, a GPU is more efficient in the long run. I use an a380 sparkle I picked up for $100 and it flies through Plex stuff. It's worth the extra horsepower and provides vs Intel. AMD has some cheaper prices with the new lineup coming in the next month or two. The new...

    Help installing windows on server

    Performance of the apps? Nah, going full tilt gbps only uses 0.03% of the CPU. WG spawns more instances of itself as speed is needed and kills them as bandwidth drops off.

    Software raid

    Only thing I can think of is to virtualize the physical and drop the server inside of it. The other option would be a hardware raid card. Not sure what options are out there for U drives though since most of us go AMD for the cheaper dumb cards for more ports for drives.

    U2 only work with U2 but U3 will work with both.

    Software raid

    I use Linux but, there should be something in disk manager or storage spaces to make raid happen. Otherwise Google it.

    2nd hand U.2 SSD usage problem

    The description on these things is mind boggling as they're cheap and don't translate very well. It's all salt until it's installed and tested in my book. Sure, reviews by users help mitigate some frustration when they find bad products but, I've ordered stuff that comes with an insert asking...

    2nd hand U.2 SSD usage problem

    Well, I would try a different adapter method or wait for the Intel drive to show up and test with that. If the problem follows with a different drive it might point to the adapter being the issue. If you swap adapters and it still persists then I would be looking at the slots. If you switch to a...

    Or maybe you could just ignore it as I only mentioned it as a comparison to the OP's experience with their brand acting in the dame manner.

    2nd hand U.2 SSD usage problem

    For me with Micron it seemed like the drive would "drop out" on Intel and a reboot fixed it but then it got to the point where it just wouldn't mount to the OS for use. Both drives did this within a week or in the case 4 hours for one of them. A clue was when trying to access the share from...

    2nd hand U.2 SSD usage problem

    @Chriggel is onto the heat issue as well with these drives. I never took readings on the micron drives but someone I was talking to picked up a couple and reported high temps around 70c but mounted fans directly to them and got a bit more reasonable temps. The CD8 idles at 40c though which is...

    2nd hand U.2 SSD usage problem

    I think we're of the same mindset on some of this. I wanted to go the PCB route as well since I thought it would be the best idea but, after 2 drives / 2 PCB cards and 0 results I changed my mind and drive brand. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09HTPWLXM - M2...

    2nd hand U.2 SSD usage problem

    These things can be a real PITA sometimes. I went through 2 micron drives and different PCB mount options and ended up sending them back when they wouldn't work in under a week each. My working solution for the past ~9 months now is using OCULINK M2 / cable and a Kioxia drive. The initial...

    I Need To Use NVMe SSD For This Server Please Help

    Then yeah, you need a PCIE / GPU box to test them if you can't pop the case and slot it. I'll go back to not paying attention.
