Looks like Windows 11 has removed inbox drivers for the two USB Ethernet adapters I normally used. Anyone know of a gigabit USB NIC with inbox Windows 11 drivers? Plugable has a 10/100 but that's way too slow. Most of the new systems I'm setting up have no inbox drivers for onboard networking...

I'm looking at the Magstor refurbished desktop SAS LTO-8 @ $3119 but before I pull the trigger, are there any better/cheaper options? I suppose I could also use an internal 5-1/4" SAS since I have a bay in the backup machine. I've bought and returned 2 flaky surplus autoloaders from eBay and...

I've got dual port SFP+ Intel X552/Cortina CS4227 onboard, and when I plug in a Netgear transceiver it doesn't work the first time, it errors out the NIC in Device Manager. It also doesn't work on boot, which makes this (literally) a non-starter. I have to unplug & re-plug several times to get...

Looking for suggestions for a small, quiet server to host a PowerVault TL1000 autoloader. Needs to have: - 10GbE built-in, OR an x8 slot (I have a X540 on hand), can be copper or SFP+ - SAS 12Gb built-in, OR an x8 slot - Windows 11 supported CPU generation (no hacks) - Storage doesn't matter...

I have a dozen WD101KRYZ WD Gold 10TB left over from an upgrade that I want to put in a 2012 DS3612xs rackmount Synology NAS that doesn't support Power Disable. I've looked at all the WD datasheets etc. and none of them document which models support Power Disable. There is one WD white paper on...

What's your go-to solution for using the ancient ASPEED 2400 remote KVM Java service on modern clients? I can't get it to work with OpenWebStart. Are you using a VM or what?

Theoretically the Synology 12-bay desktop expansion units e.g. DX1222 are just 4-channel SATA over a SAS cable so they should work with a RAID adapter e.g. LSI, right? Has anyone tried this? It's hard to find/build any other 12-bay storage enclosure that's as quiet as Synology's.

I use a 200 GB Intel DC S3610 (3 DWPD rated) for my surveillance cameras but it's coming up on 5 years, and I could use a bit larger model (500GB or 1TB). Any recommendations? Refurb is OK due to the endurance. Host is Synology DS3617xs. For reference, DC S3610 specs are 84K 4K IOPS read, 28K...

My dual BP7 battery stack got recycled before I could remove the plastic spacer & jumper that go between the two batteries. This is the thing that stacks two BP7 lead-acid UPS batteries with one right-side-up and the other upside-down, with tape to keep them stuck together. Not sure what it's...

Gigabyte has announced a Vision-style 10G NIC based on the new Marvell Aquantia AQC113C. Pricing not stated but said to be similar to other 10G Aquantia NICs. There is no datasheet for the AQC113C on Marvell's site. The 113 comes in 3 flavors: AQC113, AQC113C & AQC113CS, all of which use the...

I'm looking for a fanless web-managed 24-to-28-port 1GbE switch with 2 SFP+ 10Gb uplinks. Any suggestions? No Microtik due to historical security concerns. No "cloud managed". Currently using an HPE but wow, HPE's site makes it impossible to find products. I did find an HPE unmanaged 1420...

I'm connecting QLogic Broadcom 10GBe SFP+ NICs to a Netgear XS512EM 10GbE switch with 2 SFP+ ports. I tried these cables and they didn't work: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06Y5VFP2V I don't get any network connection at all, the lights don't light up. Suggestions please!

All I need to complete my Gigabyte MZ31-AR0 EPYC build is 4 SlimSAS SFF-8654 to SFF-8087 cables to plug into my SuperMicro direct-attach backplane. There are plenty of these cables in searches, but they all trace back to the same Chinese supplier Chenyang which ships direct out of Shenzhen with...

I just replaced an old fileserver with a new one, and copied over all of the data. I want to have a high degree of confidence that the data is intact on the new array, but I can't spare the time to binary compare 100 TB of files. I'd be satisfied if I could verify, say, 10% of the files. Is...
