    Wanted: 9207-8i (or equivalent) in Europe

    Hi all, Where can I buy one of these HBAs from a reliable source in Europe? This would be my 3rd HBA in less than a year already, so I've already noticed first hand the kind crap that is generally being sold...

    Does the SAS 2008 chip throttle when overheating?

    Hi all, While running the https://www.ixsystems.com/community/resources/solnet-array-test.1/ script on FreeNAS, I had some very weird behaviour during the seek-tress-read test (which uses dd and takes about a week to complete). During the test my IPMI and network interfaces became unreachable...

    Genuine IBM M1015 or not

    Hi, When searching for a SAS2008 HBA in Belgium / Netherlands, I actually only found one... The seller has an very good reputation (100 reviews, all positive), but when asking for the source of his HBAs, he told me he buys them from people in China / Hong Kong. Given his reputation, I'm quite...

    Most silent 12TB HDD (helium filled)

    Hi, So far I wasn't able to find anywhere on the internet a decent noise comparison between 12TB (or larger) HDDs. I already know that helium filled HDDs are quite silent @ idle (and that is also the only specification that that most brands officially list), but I'd like to know which HDDs are...
