    Any news on MxL86282-based switches? (8x 2.5G + 2x 10G)

    Thanks, I had completely missed that!

    Any news on MxL86282-based switches? (8x 2.5G + 2x 10G)

    To answer my own question, it looks like switches based on that architecture might be finally coming to market. From what I could find on chinese forums, there's a company going by Netis or Netcore (www.netcoretec.com) that launched the GS10, a switch with 8x 2.5G and 2x 10G SFP+. It's not...

    2U Chassis - Less than 21" Depth - EATX(ish) - 2 Double Slot GPUS

    You would need an ultra-low-profile cooler or possibly some kind of waterblock/radiator combination.

    2U Chassis - Less than 21" Depth - EATX(ish) - 2 Double Slot GPUS

    There's the Chenbro RM252 MIO, but the motherboard and GPUs would be front-facing. The problem is that 2U is too short to mount double slot GPUs 'stacked' and they have to be installed side-by-side, so that involves either a weird riser or some other custom cabling approach.

    shorter-depth 2U 12x3.5" cases

    Being the OP, yes the rack is just under 23" from front rails to back rails. The mini R is just something I stumbled on while looking for a chassis that would fit, and it looked interesting enough to share. I'm just looking at slowly migrating my NAS (currently in a small u-nas 8-drive case)...

    shorter-depth 2U 12x3.5" cases

    Looks like the Truenas mini R might also be a decent fit if I wanted to go for a full server instead, since it's only 21" deep. They seem to use a rebadged supermicro case (or at least the internals are stamped with supermicro part numbers) but I have had zero luck in identifying it.

    shorter-depth 2U 12x3.5" cases

    Thanks! In that case it definitely wouldn't fit. I was kinda hoping it included the front and pull-tabs to save an inch or two.

    shorter-depth 2U 12x3.5" cases

    Since my rack is slightly shallower than normal (23" front-to-back, 16U high) the usual Supermicro SC826 would stick out the back quite a bit. Would anyone have recommendations for a shorter 2U case that can handle 12x 3.5" drives? The only one I could find for that would be the Chenbro RM245...

    deep rackmount drawers

    Not exactly chassis-related, but still rackmount-related question. Anyone knows who would make deep (20-24") 3U-4U rack drawers, lockable or not? The only ones that deep I could find were from Hammond and they're on the pretty expensive side of things. Pretty much anything else I could find is...

    Any news on MxL86282-based switches? (8x 2.5G + 2x 10G)

    A 8x 2.5G + 2x 10G switch would hit just the sweet spot of what I've been looking for, but besides the STH article from early September, there hasn't been a peep. Would anyone have heard anything more recent about switches using those hitting the market?

    Supermicro Xeon D / FCBGA 1667 Heatsink information

    Same footprint. They're BGA, not socketed, so there's a significant amount of work and expertise required.

    Fully loaded compact NAS (NSC-800)

    Sorry for the massive delay, between a bout of surgery, months of recovery and a few other things it skipped my mind for the longest time. I attached the files for all 3 parts in the zip file, in both STL and STEP formats, as well as a quick picture showing how it all comes together. You need...

    Fully loaded compact NAS (NSC-800)

    Sure, it'll take me a few days and I will have to figure out exactly what hardware I used. I think it was 4-40 square nuts and screws but need to double-check.

    Intel i350 dual NIC MiniPCIe adapters - legit/workable for TMM nodes?

    The reseller I went through was New Era Electronics, up in Canada. The card was ~$130CAD but that was nearly 2 years ago. In the US, there's Global American Inc Innodisk also makes a few similar cards but they're m.2-2242 or longer instead of 2230.

    Intel i350 dual NIC MiniPCIe adapters - legit/workable for TMM nodes?

    I'll have to look it up at work to dig out the original quote, but it's worked impeccably. 3d-printed a small bracket to mount the rj45 port where the optional accessory port on the 5060 micro is (where the vga/com port would be). It runs the downstream interface to a fibre optic converter...

    Intel i350 dual NIC MiniPCIe adapters - legit/workable for TMM nodes?

    One similar card I did use before is from Commell. They make m.2-2230 to GbE, m.2-2230 to 2.5GbE and miniPCIe to GbE, dual GbE and 2.5GbE. I've been using their m.2-2230 GbE adapter in a Dell 5060 micro in place of the wifi card and it has been working impeccably. I'll have to look up where I...

    3.84TB Micron 5100 (sata)

    They also started at considerably higher, so I was surprised to see that one start for so little. Someone might get lucky, $260 for 3.84TB is still decent. Of course only reason I'm not going for it is because I managed to get my hands on a 7.68 SAS3. :cool:
