    Help with Napp-it ZFS set up

    Warning: My experience with linux is less than nothing! Please be kind. After fighting with ESXi and OpenIdiana 148, I finally got everything installed. I now need to configure my ZFS pool in Napp-it. I have no idea where to begin. I cannot find a walkthrough or guide for how to add drives or...

    Xeon E3 1270 & Asus P8B-M C204 LGA 1155 motherboard

    Sadly, I have to part with these guys because they don't support 16gb RDimms. Xeon E3 1270: This is basically an i7 2600 non-K cpu that is 80w instead of 95. Runs very cool, super fast and makes for a very speedy server. These go for $340 new. Let's start with $300 shipped & insured...

    16gb Dimms

    I have two HP braned 16gb Dimms. 1066 Cas 7. P/N 593915-s1 One has been opened, placed in a board and later found not to be supported. The other is unopened. These only work in HP servers. I cannot return these, so I have to get rid of them. These usually go for $700+ new. Looking for...

    Well, I found out that my ideal xeon set up won't work. Only 8gb dimms for 1155 as of right now. Are C32/34 the only sockets that support 16gb dimms?:confused:

    ZFSguru in Hyper-V

    I haven't found a lot of info on running a ZFS system in a VM. I wanted to do this so I don't have to build two physical systems. I have enough hardware to run it without a performance hit: C204 motherboard, Xeon E3 1270, 8 or 12gb DDR3, 6 sata ports. I wanted to set up a 4 drive Raid Z...

    DDR3 Ram: 1066 vs 1333

    If this isn't the right location, please move the thread. There's no section for ram, but this forum seems the most appropriate. Is there an real world difference in 1066 vs 1333 for LGA 1155 xeons? I know 1333 to 2000mhz scales poorly, rather, there's a huge performance increase if you...

    Xeon E3 & H67/Q67

    I recently picked up a Xeon E3 1270. This seems like a great cpu for an upgrade to my AMD PII 945 Windows 2008 R2 server rig. I'll give you a quick list of what the server will do. Primary functions: 1. File/Printer Server: I stream video/audio, back up files. 2. Back up: This is something I...
