Oh dear, I can't remember what I had for breakfast last week let alone what I did to update an HBA 5.5 years ago. :eek: I can tell you I haven't updated them since and have had no issues through November 2025 when I replaced both of those servers with a single 2U NVME storage server.

once upon a time a long long time ago, nylon pinch and insert standoffs were often used to secure motherboards to the chassis tray. instead of a threaded hole there was a cutout in the tray for the base of the standoff. While not grounded, it did the trick as long as you had some grounding...

I think depends on use-case. Different network port make up with your post. IMO the thing that makes this OP such a "thing" is the X11SDV-4C-TP8F variant with so many ready to connect ports including 2 x SFP+ interfaces The CPU and port makeup scream network oriented appliance -...

I'm sorry I never used the service. Here's one of the STH threads on this topic with a link to an hdguru forum thread.

Your symptoms, the firmware version and the model number make me think these are drives pulled from a Hitachi VSP without being off-boarded. If they are then firmware needs to be replaced. there is an article or two on the forum about various peoples' adventures trying to get them working...

Sadly the m74416 2.5Gbe interface does not fit the HPE ProDesk 600 G4. some AI assisted reading leads me to believe the socket changed to TB. As has been previously listed the options are replacing the wifi card with a 2.5gbe adapter and adapting the VGA bulkhead to accept (or 3d printing a...

I bought 4. 1 was totally fine. 1 was missing the plastic cover. 1 had a broken plastic cover. I touched the other one and it fell off.

received mine today. not bad for 67.00. As advertised. 2.5 drive tray and adapter cable is in the system as well. As its HPE, pretty much all torx to get in and strip down. waiting on my 2.5Gbe mini flex io. Yes, could have purchased some 2230's off ali and gone that route. call me...

oh. my. so lovely - could be fun to mess with if I didn't have 15 projects already stacked up and waiting.

Probably not the correct thread. Maybe a mod will relocate it? but to go down the rabbit hole. supports or will work? two different things. While HPE periodically does stupid drain-bamaged things I'd be shocked if 1.2TB was the limit that worked. Please use SSD's for the boot drives...

awesome! learned something new today! have not kept on that. Just a suggestion that you might have missed in my previous post. You might add your general locale to your OP to see if anyone in your region/area has what you want or would be willing to do a capacity swap.

they did (IIRC 16.0TB, Viking, Sandisk maybe another - about 7-8 years back) briefly then they didn't so I'm guessing either no market or there was a major design defect. There's one on ebay US "unbranded" for about a K USD right now. OP didn't give location. 1PB writes on OP's drives but...

If I can find it I can sell it for probably the cost of shipping (conus only) or free if you want to pay shipping or generate a label. DM me. that said the tecmojo extendable l-rails/brackets may cost less than shipping (if you have AMZN prime).

I might have a 4 post kit - need to check. I know I have some front ears, including one that is bent and will need a blowtorch to bend back. Rather than a vented shelf I use extendable L rails. I think from sysracks or navepoint - thin enough on the bottom that you don't lose a U.

NP, I will probably offer at STH first if I do and I probably won't sell to newly minted members.

This winter I retired my all flash Green Hornet NAS, raided my Skiff fund and moved to larger drives. I might have some 7.68's available and it will depend on what you view as right price. I have not made up my mind to sell them and trying to think of a practical use for them. If you are...

WTH does this mean? NB: your account was created 8 mins before your OP. based on your username am guessing you are a reseller of sorts. But IDK for sure. Did you read the rules by chance before posting? I'm thinking not even kind of as you are missing quite a bit of required...

Indeed it is! I look forward to your reports! Good Luck and GodsSpeed through your journey!

and the size is?

NB: Not really trying to pooh pooh and a great learning experience I suspect it will be. You may be aware of these three things bu will point them out. Assuming you have a sync workload then I think that your native 3x2 Mirror pool will have better write performance than your mirror M10 slog...
