    WTB [US-MA] 2U 2P Server v3/v4 CPUs Supermicro/Dell/HP/...

    Looking at options for both the Server and UPS. Anyone have good luck with the Eaton 5PX UPS? $400 delivered is a bit much but fresh batteries https://www.ebay.com/itm/Eaton-5PX-5PX1500RT-1440VA-1440W-120V-2U-Rack-Tower-UPS-w-New-Battery-Warranty/332853341954

    Thanks this is for a homelab and I only have a 120v 15amp circuit. I might be able to move to a 20amp circuit but that would require electrical work.

    FYI: Western Digital admits 2TB-6TB WD Red NAS drives use shingled magnetic recording

    Wow disappointing for WD. Perhaps many NAS use cases are very light but when that does not occur you have a mess. Anyone had issues related to this and under what load?

    ZFS 20 x 8TB Mirrored pool (40 drives)

    Thank you, nice only a single P4800x sounds great. Do you have any guesses on the idea on the performance of a setup like this? I can't find much online. Other better ways to do this? I wish ZFS had the new SSD Tiering features the developers are talking about on finished. HP Nimble...

    ZFS 20 x 8TB Mirrored pool (40 drives)

    We are considering a ZFS Storage Server for our VMware VSphere 6.7 Environment. Dell's SAN solutions do not appear to be price competitive. I'm open to other enterprise supported solutions. ZFS provides minimal vender lock-in and gives us a lower cost to expand by adding 24 drive or 60 drive...
