Hello, I'm in a process of converting my fileserver to a AIO server. My board/cpu supports IOMMU, so I will be able to pass HBA to a guest system, but I'm not sure which way to go. Vmware ESXi is a proven thing and works and is mainly click-click and IO passthrough works like a charm. But as...

So... This arrived on Friday Anyone interested in any test? I have a test rig setup and can run different tests. Just let me know which ones and with what parameters. lp, Matej

Hello! I have the following new setup: server with LSI 9207 HBA Supermicro 837E26-RJBOD1 28bay JBOD 28x Seagate Enterprise capacity 3.5 HDD v4 4TB SAS drives All drives are brand new and arrived a few days ago, sealed in antistatic bag, from Supermicro. I mount them all into JBOD and started...

Hello! I posted some other posts about which SLOG to pick for my NAS, but before that task, I got some test gear to perform some benchmarks to see where I stand and what can I expect from the system. What do I have: - IBM xServer 3550 M4 - 2x Intel Xeon E5-2640 - 164GB memory - 2x SAS drives...

Hello! I'm setting up a test bed for testing SAS SSDs to pick for my ZIL (and maybe L2ARC as well). As far as I looked on the internet, 'fio' seems to be the tool of choice when it comes to benchmarking (on linux that is). My test bed: - IBM xServer 3550 M4 - 2x Intel Xeon E5-2640 - 164GB...

Hello! It's time for me to slowly renew my current storage server. It's not that it's old, it just made of consumer grade HW and that brings a bunch of problem with it. When something doesn't work the way you expect, you never know if it's the HW, SW, network or something else. So I wan't to...

Did anyone test this case? How did it performed? Could it sustain SSD drive speeds? More info here. Youtube introduction here. I would love to get myself a supermicro case, but they are SOOOO expensive here in Europe that I just cant afford it. But thix X-Case, I can get for under 400€ new...
