    @ TechIsCool Does 1600mhz DDR3 work at full speed with your E5-2630? I see on Intel's site that this E5 only supports DDR3-1333.

    Toshiba announces 12 new 3.5"desktop drives

    Interesting what this guy says: "...These models [DT01ACAxxx (7200RPM, 64MB cache, SATA-600 interface)] , on the other hand, are new. Hitachi was probably preparing to launch them as the Deskstar 7K3000.B series, but, with Toshiba having received Hitachi's manufacturing assets, the drives are...

    IBM M1015 Experiences

    The 9211 has the mpt2sas driver in esxi, 9240 and M1015(not crosshflashed) both have megaraid drivers. I don't know if i can access the 9211 because on LSI site I don't have the *.vib file(9240 has VMWare SMIS Provider VIBCertified). I am also reading that the card has very poor performance even...

    Intel S1200BTL RAID

    Answer from Intel site : "This not the correct driver. It's for add-in RAID cards or modules, not for onboard ESRT2. I don't think Vmware supports ESRT2 or RST. You may want to check the vmware HCL for a compatible RAID controller...

    @choen: S1200BTL has "fake" raid, so it cannot be a prof. solution. In Win7 u can use Intel Raid RST, but to get the raid going in Linux or Vmware is very hard. You can update the bios from an Usb Stick chosing the uefi boot option in bios and then starting the startup.nsh file(it is all...
