    Best GUI for remote TrueNAS Scale Connection

    I'm not sure what protocol TailScale is using to present the files to you, but when you use samba to manipulate files on the share from a windows instance, it does all the copy/move commands on the server side, so things are fast and efficient. Most operations are just updating the file table...

    Enterprise SSD "small deals"

    Before I list, anyone interested in a bunch of samsung SM863 960GB sata SSDs? I was originally collecting them for a new NAS build, but ended up finding a good lot of Intel S3500 and S3610 1.6TB SSDs instead. I'm tempted to take slight advantage of the current price premiums ;) I have 10 of...

    Enterprise SSD "small deals"

    The NAND certainly doesn't care about the temps, but that FPGA does and needs ~300LFM of airflow.

    Enterprise SSD "small deals"

    They all use the same NAND, you can easily write 32PB to the 3.2 and double that to the 6.4TB model no problem... that's just the warrantied wear life as well, it will go much longer. You can do 7-10 DWPD on all the cards just fine in most cases. It really comes down to your app any any write...

    WANTED: Samsung SM951 AHCI

    Because the SM951 and 950 Pro are the same, but the 950 pro is a lot easier to come by.

    Enterprise SSD "small deals"

    I might have ~4 available at some point. I am currently bringing 24x 1.6TB Intel S3500s online, lol =)

    Fusion-io ioDrive 2 1.2TB Reference Page

    Hmm, we used to have a fusion liveCD for doing maintenance stuff, but I'm not sure I have any versions of it. Might be worth passing the card through to a VM running RHEL 7 or something and using the regular RHEL 7 driver.

    Fusion-io ioDrive 2 1.2TB Reference Page

    If it's stuck at zero, it's stuck, not gonna complete. You can try loading the driver in minimal mode and then erasing it and see if that helps (I think it's still possible to sure-erase in minimal mode...)

    Fusion-io ioDrive 2 1.2TB Reference Page

    No migration, just copy all your data off to another device and start working on upgrading the iodrive. You will have to format the card/etc. all data on it will be lost.

    Fusion-io ioDrive 2 1.2TB Reference Page

    Windows-wise, the latest would be Fusion_ioMemory_VSL_3.2.15.1699_x64.exe and you'd have to update the firmware as well to the 3.2.14 firmware. You'd need to do a little unzipping of the firmware file, modding the INFO file inside and adding info from the latest 3.2.8 IBM-released firmware if...

    Enterprise SSD "small deals"

    There's a some slightly incorrect info here regarding the ioDrives you all have been discussing (I worked at Fusion-io/Sandisk for 7 years building high-perf storage systems). The SX/PX/300/350 are all the same drives. Same FPGA, same firmware, etc... The only real differentiating factor is...

    Fusion-IO Firmware Update

    Yeah, I'm still hosting all the stuff I have on my nextcloud. I have a few proxmox nodes, and one of them currently has an SX350 3.2TB in it. I'm running the RemixVSL driver just fine and have been for years. https://nc.dwujcik.com/index.php/s/fiQgRpsp7gc856z

    Fusion-io ioDrive 2 1.2TB Reference Page

    Between the two, there isn't a firmware that will have the part number for each. Check my posts in here, I have a howto so that you can pull the part numbers for your drives, unzip the firmware file, add the entry to the INFO file in the firmware, re-zip it, and put the same firmware on both...

    What backup software for backing up physical Linux servers?

    You can absolutely freeze a local VM filesystem prior to a snap to ensure consistency. Lookup fsfreeze docs.

    What SSDs to replace SM863s?

    I also have a stack of sm863s, 20+ between my TrueNAS and proxmox nodes. I have some with 1700 write cycles on them. Not worried. How many full write cycles are you seeing your failures at?

    Looking for mini proxmox pc sub $250 with dual nic

    At that price, you could grab some xeon-d 1U nodes with 4-6 cores and some DRAM off ebay.
