    Extreme bad luck with SFF-8087 to 4xSATA cables?

    uhm, ok, seems that even if visually they look identical, Mini SAS SFF-8087 > 4 x SATA can have different pin assignment based on their purpose of use, the pinout to connect backplane to SATA ports is different than the one used to connect a controller to disks. I basically need a "reverse...

    Extreme bad luck with SFF-8087 to 4xSATA cables?

    I'm building a "new" home server with an ASrock C2750D4I in a Silverstone 12 Bay 2U rack case The case has a backplane with 3x SFF-8087 SAS connectors. The C2750D4I has 12x SATA ports, cool, what could go wrong? Well, I have like 10x different SFF-8087 to 4xSATA cables (from several brands)...

    Is ESXi really unsupported with MicroServer Gen10+ and Pentium G5420?

    yes sorry, I was a little too sarcastic maybe :) but if the reason is simply that they haven't tested it, well that's fine. I already have two units with Xeon 2224 and since I'd need a third one mainly to play with vSAN I thought buying the G5420 version would be a good way to save some money

    Is ESXi really unsupported with MicroServer Gen10+ and Pentium G5420?

    I know this sounds almost a stupid question, given that ESXi 7 should run just fine on pretty much any recent dual core 64bit-x86 processor, but since even Patrick in his review stated that he used the Xeon 2224 version of the MicroServer to test ESXi because the G5420 was not supported, I...

    Hi All, Yesterday my ESXi cluster lost the connection with the FreeNAS server (which is used as NFS datatore), consequently the datastore has become unavailable and hanging, the VMs started hanging and all the usual mess that happens in this cases ..well, happened. Now I fixed everything but I...

    replication

    yes I did some tests and changes are removed (on destination) when the new snapshot sync is performed tbh for me is all fine, I'm just wondering why the documentation is stating something completely different from what I have, since I didn't changed anything.

    replication

    I always thought that dataset(s) on destination systems are created in read-only mode, and in fact this is also written in the doc. but my datasets at destination are read-write, does anyone knows why? of course I didn't changed the dataset properies manually, just created snapshots and then...

    Vega 64's More to come

    I'm looking for a Vega56/64 since some time, just because I want one in my collection (and for some tests) but I don't understand why they keep costing so much. Used Vega64 are more expansive than brand new RX5700's, which are also faster! I mean, the crypto-craziness is over, why people are...
