    USB Adapter for PM863A

    Thanks for your response. Yeah, definitely not for permanent attachment. Mostly for a plug in, back things up, maybe do something with the drive a bit and then done. Actually, it would be plugged into a laptop. It was the power use that made me question the feasibility. I'm trying to find a...

    USB Adapter for PM863A

    Is it feasible to use a USB adapter for these sata drives? I know enterprise drives tend to use more power, but I thought I'd ask before I just buy and try... I was thinking of something like this...

    Enterprise SSD "small deals"

    This leads me to believe the checksum is calculated again on read and compared to what was calculated when it was written. OpenE Link Maybe I misunderstood what was said and this already know

    EXPIRED Ebay - Samsung/Netapp PM1633a 3.84TB SAS SSD $130

    Maybe not, but they did come with the carrier (that I didn't need) but I wanted a larger sized SAS drive fairly quickly and it was the cheapest option I saw at the time :) so maybe just luke warm at that price

    EXPIRED Ebay - Samsung/Netapp PM1633a 3.84TB SAS SSD $130

    The same seller had a new posting and increased the price to $150. I would rather have gotten a couple at $130, I was looking for a couple new SSDs (not NVME) this was cheaper than what I was seeing for a nice enterprise drive with a good DWPD. What was nice is that I added a note asking to...

    EXPIRED Ebay - Samsung/Netapp PM1633a 3.84TB SAS SSD $130

    Since they can be reformatted to 512b, does that mean they can work with any sas controller? I believe yes, but thought I'd check

    [FS][US-TX] 20 - WD Red 4TB SATA Drives

    In short, they were purchased much later. I originally had 12 drives in a hardware raid 6 with an Areca card (bought 6 thru bhphoto, the other 6, I don't remember). I eventually moved on to larger drives and had these on the shelf for a while, but I then built a bigger storage pod and had room...

    [FS][US-TX] 20 - WD Red 4TB SATA Drives

    I randomly grabbed 3 from the box and attached the smart data. Of the 3 I tested: 13655, 52215, 69145 hours

    [FS][US-TX] 20 - WD Red 4TB SATA Drives

    I bought most of these new, back in 12/2013. I'm going to guess around 96k. I'm rebuilding my desktop and should have it back up running tomorrow. If I do, I'll at least get 1 or 2 powered up and capture some smart data. Edit: I might be off by 10-15k because, well, math. Let me get a few...

    D1540D4U-2O8R (Xeon D1540) Kingston 2x32GB 2Rx4 ECC Memory 2 Inland 120GB ssds (I used them just for the OS) The onboard SAS 3008 has been flashed to IT mode, as well as the LSI-9300-8E Note: This board uses the Cortina CS4227 for the SFP+ PHY and that has some driver issues. You will need to...

    [FS][US-TX] 20 - WD Red 4TB SATA Drives

    18 pulled from a ZFS array and are known good. 2 *might* have a problem, or it might have been the cables. I had some smart errors due to cabling during their lifetime. I didn't collect the smart data before I pulled them, and I only have a laptop available at the moment. The box is 20"x12"x9"...

    H11SSL-i missing ACS bios setting

    Did you figure this out? Edit: I figured it out. Under "ACPI Settings" you need to enable "PCI AER Support" first.

    Brocade ICX Series (cheap & powerful 10gbE/40gbE switching)

    I might have ninja edited this after you initially read it: While the switch "sees" SFP-10G-SR, it is ASF-10G2-T (according to the actual label on the product). I should have posted that part number, or the link to the Amazon page. I was attempting to avoid posting an Amazon link. But now...

    Brocade ICX Series (cheap & powerful 10gbE/40gbE switching)

    Here is the one I ordered: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XQBFHNL (Size: 10GBase-T: 30m) And here is a picture (sort of matches the picture on the Amazon page, same part number but mine actually has the multigig text). Doesn't seem to match what the switch reports From the switch console: Type...

    Brocade ICX Series (cheap & powerful 10gbE/40gbE switching)

    Perhaps I am just misinformed (good chance, since I'm new to this stuff). I was under the impression that you needed a special transceiver to get these switches to play nice with 2.5/5gb devices, otherwise it wouldn't work unless the both devices supported 10gb.

    Brocade ICX Series (cheap & powerful 10gbE/40gbE switching)

    This module, like the S+RJ10 basically turns the 10g port on the Brocade into a multigig port. Of course Brocade doesn't "see" that, it just sees that there is a 10gb SFP+ module. The ATT gateway has a port that supports 1gb, 2.5gb and 5gb. So, when I put that into this module, the module and...

    Brocade ICX Series (cheap & powerful 10gbE/40gbE switching)

    A little bit of a necro, but I had the same issue (I didn't read all the thread before I tried) with mine. I tried this module: HiSense SFP-10G-SR from Amazon (Size: 10GBase-T: 30m) Edit: What was received was an ASF-10G2-T. It seems to work. I plugged my ATT gateway into the 5gb port (on the...

    Asrockrack D1540D4U-2O8R - Onboard NIC not working

    Thanks @RolloZ170. That lead me to finding a was the solution. [dpdk-dev] net/ixgbe: fix link never come up problem with x552 - Patchwork I applied that patch to both the latest 4.6.4 and 5.14.6 versions of the Intel ixgbe drivers and verified they work. It looks like the patch was never...

    Asrockrack D1540D4U-2O8R - Onboard NIC not working

    You might be on to something. I was so hung up on 4.x vs 5.x that I assumed it was introduced with 5.x. The installed version that works is 4.2.1-k. I just tried 4.6.4 and it failed as well. I'll try 4.3.15 (the last version before that patch removed the code) and 4.4.6 (the next one after that...

    Asrockrack D1540D4U-2O8R - Onboard NIC not working

    I'm an amateur at this at best, but I look at the source for ixgbe_phy.c and ixgbe_x550.c and I didn't notice much difference between the latest 4.x and 5.x drivers. I'm still looking and playing around with making changes to the 5.x to see if I can stumble across a "fix".
