    2025 suggestions for PCIe SSD storage

    I opted for two 2TB Intel P4600 cards. We'll see how that turns out :)

    2025 suggestions for PCIe SSD storage

    Thanks for the input. P4610 is U.2 right? I'm a bit at loss would u.2 or pcie AIC be better? The kit for DL360 gen9 is not cheap by any means, but the availability would be a bit better for drives. Also hotswap. Don't know if the other servers that are possibly available (Dell R630 or R730) are...

    2025 suggestions for PCIe SSD storage

    Hi there, I'm setting up a DL360 gen9 as shared storage with Truenas. As speeds with SATA-SSD's are lower than expected we are looking into using PCIe AIC-SSD's. We need 2TB net storage, and would like it to be mirrored (as usual). The config would be something in the direction of; - 2x 2TB PCIe...

    Truenas Scale lackluster performance over NFS/esxi

    Thanks for the replies. As I see it, I'd need a suitable PCIe-nvme -drive (PM1725, P3600) or similar. Or two. To get more performance. Granted, more disks (now testing against one ssd) would yield more performance, but not by much. Also, looking into it, NFS on ZFS does not seem to support...

    Truenas Scale lackluster performance over NFS/esxi

    Hi, I'm trying to set up a new shared storage server to replace our old qnap TS-463-RP. Core switch is Ubiquiti ES-16XG It's running with 16GB of ram and two Samsung MZ7KH3T8HALS-00005 SSDs in RAID1. Connection with copper (quality cable, short run in the same rack). I find the performance...

    Fujitsu P009956-41H (Emulex OCe14102B-NT) to Dell?

    Hi, I received a bunch of Fujitsu P009956-41H NIC's (2x 10GE copper). My main goal was to use these on esxi 8.0u3, but it seems as they're not supported with Fujitsu FW? How should one flash these to generic Emulex/Broadcom or even Dell firmware? As Emulex was bought by Avago, then consolidated...

    Low power shared storage on a budget?

    10Gbe via SFP or rj45, both are ok. I've got NICs, HBAs, RAM and a e3-1200v5 cpu (oh, and lot's of older gear..)

    Isilon X210 any useful?

    I recently received two Isilon X210's. My plan was to make one of them a TN server, but there are a few problems; Fan noise. Any ideas if these can be controlled via ipmitool? they are connected to a EMC sub-board that houses power distribution, fan logic, SAS-expander etc Power supply...

    Firmware package for Samsung SM883/MZ7KH3T8HALS

    I recently received a bunch of 3.8TB samsung SSDs. They are at firmware HXM7304Q. I was wondering if there is a newer firmware for these? These *might* be with a $vendors$ own fw, but they report as samsung. I've found some mentions of HXM7904Q. Any idea where an updated package could be found...
