    Hard Drive Selection for 100TB Array

    I actually just checked the August stats. One of the 14TB toshiba is the single most used drive at BB. It has a below average rate of failure (favorable). There’s another 14TB model with a higher rate, but they have less than 2000 drives compared to 32k of the other drive. Seems like a decent...

    Hard Drive Selection for 100TB Array

    That seems like a great price. I was thinking about doing 2 vdevs of 6 drives. Then if I need more space I can just add a third vdev with 6 more. Thanks!!!

    Memorial Day Sales - P3605, 3TB, 4TB, S9300, etc.

    Got it...mine was not a large order, but I'm sure STH has buried them. I'd really like to get my drives! Here's the latest update: It hasn't budged since the 13...now over a week. I'll continue to try to be patient!

    They were way cheaper. I was still unclear on the firmware on these.

    Memorial Day Sales - P3605, 3TB, 4TB, S9300, etc.

    I haven't tried proxmox, but they work great on windows and esxi. I have 2 of these. I use ubuntu to flash them to the RA13 firmware, so I'm guessing they would work fine in debian as well.

    Memorial Day Sales - P3605, 3TB, 4TB, S9300, etc.

    Anyone receive their drives lately? Mine "shipped" on the 13, but still haven't actually shipped. Tracking just says label printed.

    Anyone else with troubles on ASRock ep2c602-4ld16?

    Fully updated... I also ran memtest86 on my bad RAM. I ran it for 4 days thinking it had to eventually figure it out...nope. I didn't try any tests in Linux, just memtest86+. It said it was just fine, but once I swapped it out, no issues since.

    Running hot

    I have my rack in a room I built in the garage. All but one wall is insultated, but the one that isn't is a brick wall facing the morning and noon sun. So in that room, even with a 14,000 BTU A/C, it still sits around 10 degrees below outside temp. So if its 103 outside (I'm in DFW), its...

    Anyone else with troubles on ASRock ep2c602-4ld16?

    I've not updated this particular system. I'll run the updates and see what happens. It's a benchmark box that is backed up, so if it all goes poorly, I'll let you know. I do have two other ESXi hosts running Windows 2012 R2 guests that are 100% fully updated. The PCIe devices are: X520-DA2...

    Anyone else with troubles on ASRock ep2c602-4ld16?

    I'm running three of these boards now. One runs windows server 2012r2 without issue. The other two run esxi 6.5 (previously 5.5 and 6.0). So I know the board is perfectly compatible with 2012r2 without issue. I did experience issues on one build with memory. I would get the purple screen of...
