I'm considering getting two Intel P900 NVMe drives and putting them in RAID 1. They will be connected to the motherboard (Supermicro X11SRM-VF). I'm wondering if its possible to configure NVMe drives in RAID 1/0. Does it work exactly like SATA/SAS?

I have ~50TB of content. I decided I will be using a RAID6 setup. I'm wondering what the best RAID config and FS are for my use case. The server stores lots of downloadable & streamable content (videos) with an average filesize of 500MB. What would you recommend? By raid config I am also...

USBC is Thunderbolt, and I have 4 thunderbolt 3 ports, which should go up to 40Gbps.

It appears the same issue is happening with the belkin. My download never seems to go above 750mbps but my upload is always capped at 100mbps. Now I suspect it might be a configuration or software driver thing. Are there belkin drivers? I cannot seem to find them.

Yes it does the same with another cat6 cable that pushed 1000mbps on another machine.

I ordered the Belkin USBC to Ethernet adapter. I hope it doesn't have issues. If it works I will end up returning the Anker.

It appears installing the driver partially fixed it. Now my down speed seems to be capping at around 700Mbps but the upload speed is stuck at 100Mbps! :( Is this normal or should I be getting 1000Mbps up and down?

I have a 1Gbps fiber connection and when I use my PC or home server that are wired via Ethernet I get full speeds (up & down). But when I tried connecting my MacBook Pro to the Ethernet wire using a Anker USB C to Ethernet Adapter, Portable 1-Gigabit Network Hub I get a very jumpy connection...

What would the rebuild time be for a raid6 rebuild using 24x12tb hds? I will definitely be going with ZFS. I will have to research it a little more but from everything I heard it's the best FS now and for the future. I should point out that this server will host many large video files. 100mb ~...

The RAID cards I'm eyeing are LSI/Boardcom MegaRAID SAS 9361-8i and Microsemi Adaptec SmartHBA 2100-8i. Any thoughts on these? The MegaRAID has been around for years. Seems kind of dated but if it works it works? I will be using a MiniSAS to MiniSAS HD cable. The backpanel will have a SAS2...

Are you talking about using the boards soft-raid?

I'm going to build a massive storage server with 24x12TB HDDs in RAID 10. I'm curious what hardware RAID cards you recommend for such setup? For cables I am looking for ones that fan out from 1 to multiple SATA connectors. What do you suggest?

HPE claims their ram unlocked some features and may give a slight performance boost. Is this true?

I'm looking for a low profile bracket that comes with the Intel PCIe NVMe SSDs. I found the part I need here: Low Profile Bracket for Intel 750 Series PCIe NVMe SSD, Gordogato's Interesting Stuff But they are sold out. Does anyone know where I can buy one like this or similar?

My server has no U.2/M.2 ports. Only AIC will work.

What is a white box system?

I ordered a HPE ProLiant DL325 G10 which has a AMD EPYC 7401P and 2x16GB DDR4 2666 RDIMMs. I would like to purchase 8x 32GB DDR4 2666 RDIMMs (Hynix HMA84GR7AFR4N-VK) to replace the RAM with, but I'm worried there may be some issues with compatability. Spec wise the RAM is exactly the same...

My server does not support a U.2 drive. I only can go with the AIC version of the NVMe drive, so RAID1 is not an option for me. My server is a HPE ProLiant DL325 G10. AMD EPYC 7401P /w 8x 32GB RAM. Based on my resesrch the P900 is almost the same performance wise. The only difference that...

Other any other difference between the Intel Optane P4800x & P900 other than their endurance rating (20.5 vs 5.11 PBW), MTBF (1.6m vs 2m), and Enhanced Power Loss Data Protection? I also read that the P4800x has the option to change the sector size. I've also seen some benchmarks where the...

Not sure if I'm posting this in the right section as I couldn't find a sub-forum for RAM. Please move it to the correct section if misplaced. I am curious about about HPE/Lenovo branded RAM. Is there actually ANYTHING different about it other than a sticker?
