Hi, I have bought myself a x8dti with 24GB Ram. According to the label inside it should be a x8dti-f, but looking at the specs the x8dti card with 4+ lan ports is x8dti-ln4f.. My card have 4+ lans.. I guess it's not all that important for ram choices as it seems they have the same ram spec...

Thanks, I rather pay more if I can avoid headaches later, sure. What source are you referring to? Does not look like Supermicro hava a 90 degree connector, and everything on ebay looks more or like the same imo. The server came with cbl-0281l-01 cables - do you know what that extra flat cable...

Hi, I have a supermicro X8DTI motherboard (my thread), but I'm not sure if these will fit. I'm also unsure how DDR3 1.35V-1600 differs from DDR3 1600. From the manual I can only find 1333 support with 5600 cpu installed (I have 5620). Here's the link for my board, can you our someone smarter...

Quick update: I didn't get the one I wanted, but it will work as a storage server only if vm's slows it down too much, but I think it will be just fine for my usage. Just starting it up for the first time was worth the price, so I will not complain. • (1) - SUPERMICRO CSE-847 36-BAY 4U CHASIS...

Still good information to have. Now I know I can upgrade some of my drives to 10 or 12TB in my 4020 until I get the new one up and running. Thank you.

You have 12TBs in a raid?

I'm not sure I'm following.. (Image from the listing in my previous post) I can count 9 sas cables on this picture (there's one for each row of disks, right?): I would think I'd need one m1015 raid controller (2 ports), and one expander card (8 ports) to use this. Is it not so? Regarding...

Strangely enough - I got alerted of your reply by mail. I did a test on a thread, and when unwatching and going back to watching 'no mail alert' was selected as default. Lets hope that was all. But I still don't get mail alerts on conversations. Automatically watch threads that you create or...

I got the first 3 mails on june 23, but nothing since. The alerts shows here when logged in. I have been going through stuff at my end thinking the problem was here. Thunderbird warns that it think the mail are scams - perhaps because of the mandrillapp.com link in the mails. And of course I...

I have no reason for needing anything - except a place for my files to call home. like this ebay listing? "Unit has SAS846A and SAS826A direct attach backplanes" My order of 4 x hp sas expanders and 4 x ibm m1015 cards arrived yesterday - it would be nice to be able to use them for something...

Thank you - I will try to get a 1.2 board instead. I now see some of the boards I've looking at has been lower than 1.2, but most does not specify rev. I was hoping to buy a complete, working system to make it as easy as possible. I see that buying components could perhaps be easier on me. The...

Had some downtime so lost two opportunities, just about to order a couple of cpus when the first server was sold - but came over this one: Supermicro 4U X9DR3-F 2x Xeon E5-2640 2.5ghz 8x 4gb 10600R 36-Bay SAS2-846EL1 As far as I can tell this looks good for my use - perhaps add some more...

I was just thinking of what if I'd need to return it for some reason - I'm out another 1000 usd.. You are right, I should see if I'm able to find something closer to home. Found an expander in Norway for less than the shipping cost from USA...

Thank you, Evan - I had a hard time finding any information on this subject.

The server is going to be located in a rack in the basement, so the noise isn't of imidiate concern. I was thinking mirroring two and two drives and pool them.. I think. I might have forgotten what the plan was from the start. I need to get back into that once I'm finished with the hardware. The...

First: I apologize for the long and poorly written post. I used two days on it, so my mind might have wandered a bit. tldr-ish: 1. Max drivesize is determined by the backplane, is that correct? If so - SAS2 doesn't support larger than 8TB? (example listing) 2. Am I limiting myself to much...
