were you able to find newer firmware?

Another 24x formatted to 512b and relisted https://ebay.us/m/YKheM2 Definitely able to be reformatted...unless the seller was wrong of course and they were never 520b to begin with.

Hi Network Experts! I have a H12SSW-NTR that I purchased second had and was having lots of issues with the board booting, I then was able to narrow it down to the incorrect FW being loaded for the Onboard NICs. The issues is basically that if I use the EFI OPROM, the card makes the system...

OK So after checking with SM Support. The FW loaded is not right, the SM OEM FW also starts with a triple digit like 226.0.145.0 The only BCM57416 FW with double digits like mine is the DELL version. At this point it's quite possible whoever had this board before updated the FW with the wrong...

Ok, one more update, it seems that if I do the following 3 things the system behaves normally: 1. DIsable SecureBoot 2. Enable CMS 3. DIsable Lan OPROM There is obviously something happening with the FW/OPROM that is hanging up the system. I will try and play around with the OPROM settings to...

Haven't given up on the board just yet. I was thinking about what else lives on the pcie bus...and so i disable onboard lan by moving the physical jumper. If I do that, the board boots fine everytime and it actually boots much faster. Does that point to anything? LAN does seem to work once it is...

Looks like maybe they could have been reformatted to 512b.... https://ebay.us/m/CRoUZT This seller is reselling their drives and formatted as 512b. You can tell because they even left on the sticker from the previous seller. I also had the same sticker on all my 3.84tb drives I got from them...

They actually listed them at 679ea in the beginning and when i tried to haggle them down to 500 each they actaully jacked up the price ans said 679 was a pricing error ☹️

I think they marked it as shipped but hadn't shipped it yet.

I did a lot more research on these IBM drives after I pulled the trigger and wrorked out it was unlikely I could reformat one. (Thank you for pointing that out to me!). I ended up asking the seller if these were 512b otherwise I might want to refund them and then they just responded with "no...

I'd have to check the terms with ebay global shipping and returns. The postage alone for one drive to Australia was about 45usd

Maybe it was for the best then that I didn't buy more... I formatted netapps to 512 no problem before but didnt realise IBMs could be problematic.

I managed to buy just the one before it sold out l. So I'll report back on it and whether we should all feel bad for missing it or not. I am potentially kicking myself for not taking a few more at that price...

Thank you, I will look into it!

Thanks for the advice. The box was only 750 + 750 a H12SSW-NTR + 150 for risers + 140 for the slg4-4e4t (admittedly i have not bought the 2x slg4-2e4t, but they will run me another 230). Unless I find another amazing deal on a 2114S-WN24RT, I would be nowhere near the price. Even if i can...

To be honest I was just using HDD Sentinel to look at the drives (like I always do). here is 6 of them for example. Ignoring the 99% drive (they sent me a newer model and I got lucky ont that one) , they only have 200TB at most. Also the TBW is not really consistent with the wear rating at...

I chucked them in a Dell server for testing and they did not come up as needing an update. I also could not find the firmware for them. Where did you see this info?

Tested some of these and was confused by the wear rating. The TBW does not seem to match the wear percentage. TBW is much lower than expected at those wear ratings. Is it maybe because I am thinking of the DWPD rating in sequential terms and these were hammered with random writes instead?

Thank you. I probably misphrased what I wanted to say. My rudimentary understanding (from what I admit was a very cursory search) is that ROCE (at least it seemed for v2) implementation of RDMA would work without any switch support (kind of like you said). Originally the Mikrotik did not support...

ok after a really long struggle with being capped around 40gbps on iperf, I realised Truenas Scale is still using iperf3 ver 3.12 which does not support multi threaded tests. I used this code to run 4 instances on server side: for i in {0..3}; do port=$((5201 + i)) iperf3...
