    X9DAi: Windows 10 BSOD ACPI_BIOS_ERROR

    On a related note, how finicky are the X9DAi about memory? Debating if I should go for this Samsung that is listed on SMs website or the bulk option below Samsung M393B1K70CH0-CH9 8GB DIMM DDR3 1333 MHz PC3-10600R CL9 ECC RDIMM RAM REG Dell R710 Memory Upgrade 72GB (18 x 4GB) PC3-10600R DDR3...

    Dell C6100 XS23-TY3 2U 4-Node (8 CPU) Cloud Server

    nry: I'm assuming it's the ones from etb-tech you've been looking at? Looks like it's 96gb per node. Dell PowerEdge C6100 XS23-TY3 Node Server I'm so tempted to get one. I'm just thinking if it's better to get the barebone and source CPUs and memory somewhere else. I don't relly need 384 GB...

    How to find performance bottleneck?

    Thanks for the pointers. -Disk/Pool problems: Are there any tools included for this? I just ran a simple test for write speed and it gave me about 95 MB/s /usr/bin/time dd if=/dev/zero of=sometestfile bs=1024 count=50000 I know this isn't very accurate but I would be happy to get about...

    Hardware: ASUS P5Q Premium Intel C2Q Q9300 @ 2.5GHz 8GB RAM LSI 9211-8i 4x4TB WD RED 1x500GB WD Blue for VM Datastore I've installed the OmniOS + NappIT VM Appliance on ESXi 5.5 and set up the disks with RDM since my setup doesn't support vt-d. I then created two vdev mirrors under one...

    HP P411 and LSI SAS2X36 Expander Chip - Compatible?

    Hi everyone, How would I find out the compatibility between a HP P411 and the expander from Supermicros 846E16 case? All I can find is that it's using a LSI SAS2X36 chip. HP obviously won't add compatibility with other brands on their lists, they would just give me the HP SAS expander...

    Quick question on SAS2008 based RAID cards.

    Yeah you have some strange numbers going on there... 300GB/s would be nice though ;) SATA I (1.5 Gbps) = 150 MB/s SATA II (3 Gbps) = 300 MB/s SATA III (6 Gbps) = 600 MB/s SAS (3 Gbps) = 300 MB/s SAS2 (6 Gbps) = 600 MB/s

    SAS 2 Dual Back Plane Enclosure

    Would it be possible to use one of these E26 cases (SC846E26-R1200B) as a DAS to two systems? What i'm aiming for is a 4U unit that can serve 12 disks to each machine. All I need is bays for the disks and space for an expander. I know I could get two 2U enclosures but I think I would end up...

    Supermicro X9SCM/X9SCL LGA-1155 Xeon Motherboard Series

    With the X9SCM and SCA, is it possible to boot from a RAID1 on the on-board controller with ESXi and a ZFS-VM and then use a HBA passthrough to that said ZFS-VM for the rest of the storage? How is the BSD driver support on these cards? I know the NICs are covered, at least the 2x 82574L on SCA...

    HP DL360 G7 - Memory configurations

    Maybe "Processors and Motherboards" should include Memory as well? This might be a long shot but is anyone familiar with the memory on HP servers? I'm trying to figure out the most optimal design, my requirements are 36GB RAM for now but I want to buy RDIMMS that I can use in the future...

    Hitachi Deskstar 3 TB $107 Amazon

    You can get them for $235 or 1290 NOK here in Sweden. Or do you have to pay extra VAT even from us? :confused:

    'Väderfölne'

    The thread can stay here, I'll use it as a show-off/questions thread then :) To start with, I would actually like to try my crazy idea about running ESXi and a "thin" client to the guest OS. Not sure how that's going to work out though... But you are correct, it will be mainly used for...

    'Väderfölne'

    Hey everyone, I've been lurking here for a while now and figured it was time to post my first thread. I'm building this workstation (with an odd name for most people :p) for work, so it will be used mostly for programming, R&D, 3D and as a lab computer for new things that I would like to try...
