    X8 FreeNAS upgrade X9/10? or new low power CPU?

    So, I decided my FreeNAS boxes are way, way way too old. They are all X8 era stuff, around 10 years old. My needs have grown and changed some. Can something like a Xeon D or Atom3xxx handle a hard FreeNAS box and saturate 10G with ISCSI or NFS? Im considering something like the 5019D8-TR12P...

    Thoughts on sound "proofing" (dampening) a Startech 4POSTRACK12U

    light foam is usless by itself. your better off having the local hardware store cut some plywood and leaning the boards againts the server... itll keep the noice "in" (noise will reverberate and cancel out some of itself... the more you seal the box the better...but it does needs to breathe for...
