    8TB & 10TB HGST Ultrastar SAS Drives ($85/$125)

    I emailed the store, and they said shipment was delayed due to the fact it was an international order, so they had to wait for the payment to clear before the disks were sent.

    Has anyone with ES CPU's dared to update their BIOS with Spectre fix? Does anyone have an idea if this would work fine with an ES cpu? I've got a Supermicro X10SRL-F and an e5-2650 v3 ES QEYN, and wondering if I should update with the latest BIOS containing new microcode from Intel.

    Seagate Backup Plus 4TB Drive - Cheap 2.5" 4TB drives

    I've put a small power supply from an old Shuttle PC in the 5,25" bay. Shorted the pwr_on to ground, and removed unnecessary cabling. Reason I cut the thing in half is I don't have room for a full depth server, I only have some rackspace with about 19" of depth. I've been testing some with...

    Seagate Backup Plus 4TB Drive - Cheap 2.5" 4TB drives

    Yeah I know about the datasheets, but was curious if the shucked disk was somehow different from the drives that arent. I tried crystal disk info, it does not report cache size like it does with my other disks.
