Ah, looking on the cd rom that came with it I see a linux driver, in source code forum, dating from 2014. Compiling drivers for linux is not something I've ever attempted before... [yes I come from a mostly windows back ground where 99% of the time it works after clicking install ;-) ]...

Hi, has anyone got a Startech PEX10000sfp 10gbe card working with OMV v5 ? [Debian based distro currently on the Linux amd64 v5.4.0 kernel - I think...] I plugged a new card in last week and OMV just completely ignored it's existence Was hoping it would be plug and play, any advise would be...

OK - that makes so much more sense - lol :-) til: SAS connector does not always means it has a SAS controller.

Hi, I'm just setting up a simple home file server/nas and bought the supermicro A2SDi-8C-HLN4F mb. This might be a stupid question but do I need to flash the SAS controller on it to IT mode? If so, is there a guide someone can point me to. I won't be using hardware based raid as I plan to use...

If only they were that price here in the UK :-( If anyone can point me to a reliable source to buy a couple of these in the UK, I'd be most grateful. Otherwise I guess my options are something like this: Intel SSD D3-S4510 240GB Brand New | eBay

Thanks for the advice everyone, I knew the later vertex 3s & 4s had a lot of lissues but thought these earlier drives were ok. They've had a pretty easy life and haven't been used since about 2012 so wondered if they'd still be ok for this. I'll keep my eyes open for other options. Antony

Hi, Quick question I hope. I'm building a home NAS and have a couple of old OCZ Vertex 2 60GB SSDs kicking around and I'm wondering if it's a bad idea or not to use one as the boot/OS drive. I'm likely to be running OMV on it and would use the 2nd to create an offline mirrored back-up of the...

After more contemplating (read: getting over the budget related shock...) I think I can leave 10gbe to a future upgrade. With that in mind, I'm seriously looking at the: A2SDi-8C+-HLN4F | Motherboards | Products | Super Micro Computer, Inc. That CPU should be fast enough for my needs for a long...

I think this mb could be an option: X10SDV-2C-7TP4F | Motherboards | Products | Super Micro Computer, Inc. Anyone with experience of it?

Well the A2SDi-H-TP4F does meet exactly what I what - but wow £1K ouch (before adding ram) and there I was thinking I was being generous with my budget...

I think this board gets the closest to what I want: https://www.scan.co.uk/products/supermicro-mbd-x11ssh-ctf-o-intel-c236-s1151-ddr4-2400mhz-sata-iii-6gb-s-5x-usb-30-dual-10gbase-t-la

Thanks for the replies/suggestions. Quick answer first: yes the a CS380 would fit, I'm guessing with the vent holes on the left hand side I wouldn't be able to push it snug up to the wall? I think it's also a case I read about that has some air flow issues, maybe I'm just getting them mixed...

Hi - Yes I'm yet another noob here and hoping I can get some advice. I've tried to do some research but now I just feel overwhelmed with too many options. Current system at bottom of this post. I'm think I've found the case I that suites sliding under my desk (it's the only location I have for...
