    CANADA - WD Element 10TB HE? SMR?

    Hey thanks for the heads up! Exactly what I was looking for. I suspected that the 10TB could be not what I hoped so I thought I would ask and I am glad I did. I think there is a trip to Costco in my future, just need to time it right so nobody is there. :) Snorf

    CANADA - WD Element 10TB HE? SMR?

    Does anyone have any experience with shucking these drives? I have only found mixed information on what could be inside. Is this a HE drive? Is it SMR? Anybody tried one? https://www.bestbuy.ca/en-ca/product/wd-elements-10tb-usb-3-0-desktop-hard-drive-wdbwlg0100hbk-nesn-black/14927820 Snorf

    Canada $130 CDN ASUS Motherboard Z9PR-D12 Socket 2011 w/ 2 x Xeon E5-2620 CPU /1U heatsink

    The seller is legit. I bought a couple Z10PR-D16 boards off of them and I received them and they were fairly well packaged. One did have a couple of bent cpu fan pins but I carefully bent them back and all was good. Snorf

    Proxmox 5.4, HP Flashed Mellanox Connectx-3, pfSense = issue

    I have everything running and I am at about 490/490 with the fresh install with pci pass through. The comment I am seeing in the pfSense boot screen is (not sure what this means but hopefully google does): mlxen0: tso4 disabled due to -txcsum. mlxen0: tso6 disabled due to -txcsum. mlxen0...

    Proxmox 5.4, HP Flashed Mellanox Connectx-3, pfSense = issue

    Thx for sticking with me on this. There has been a small victory, but it was followed by massive failure...... :) First I re-installed pfSense and used OVMF and q35 instead of the defaults like shown in the virtualization instructions on the netgate site. It seemed much more responsive getting...

    Memorial Day Sales - P3605, 3TB, 4TB, S9300, etc.

    Yes. Go as far as you can without paying and it should be right when you get there. At least it was for me with express pay paypal. I haven't received any shipping info yet though. I hope he hasn't closed up and headed to Cuba! Snorf

    Proxmox 5.4, HP Flashed Mellanox Connectx-3, pfSense = issue

    Thank you for the reply. It took me about 2 weeks to learn how to fire up a VM with freebsd 11.1 and get the mlx files so the card would work in the first place with pfSense. Reading and learning is tedious when you have to google every third or fourth word or acronym. But, I did get it...

    Desktop PC won't boot with HP NC552SFP/Emulex OCE11102 dual 10gbe nic

    I am a total noob and probably way off track but heh you never know. Card firmware. What are they running? Can you put them back in the working server and see what they are running and then if wrong firmware flash to what you need before moving them? They have firmware from 2012 - 2017 in...

    Brocade ICX Series (cheap & powerful 10gbE/40gbE switching)

    I used the CLI on the initial configuration (followed the instructions) but have been using the GUI on the ICX 6610 and 7250 mostly since then. Is there really anything you cannot do in the GUI that you can do in the CLI other than initial config from unknown state? It seems really good. Snorf

    Brocade ICX Series (cheap & powerful 10gbE/40gbE switching)

    I am considering an R710 as well, your findings are of great interest. I have an R510 and have noticed that with Wave 2 devices it performs at full speeds. However, with non wave 2 devices there are issues. If I enable the rate limiter I can achieve faster speeds than just leaving it on...
