    Brocade ICX Series (cheap & powerful 10gbE/40gbE switching)

    So it seems stacking with the 7250 is limited to only other 7250s? What if I wanted some ports with higher bandwidth? Can I still connect and use say a 7450 or 7750 with the 7250 and just not have it officially "stacked"?

    Brocade ICX Series (cheap & powerful 10gbE/40gbE switching)

    well it was labeled as one, so i got a partial refund thank you... still in market for a poe version... i meant -- this is a L3 switch right, so I could theoretically have another managed switch with PoE even 2.5gb poe or higher, and a 10gb uplink to this switch, and I could put the L3 magic on...

    Brocade ICX Series (cheap & powerful 10gbE/40gbE switching)

    Hey i got a ICX 7250-24P offer accepted for 225 so I thought I should take it. it is not PoE. but it only has a 12v mini psu inside and 1 40x28 fan. it seems I could add 3 less loud 40x20ish fans on the air intake side, and then either remove the loud fan or drill with 40mm holesaw (it has...

    SOLD: Juniper EX3300-24P

    I am looking into purchasing one of these switches to replace my CRS328-24P-4S+RM and relieve my pfsense box of DHCP/VLAN/ETC routing.. It''s my understanding this switch can handle all that no problem as well it isn't the loudest switch and could potentially be modified to be even quieter. Is...

    I also have LSI9300-16i and have been messing around with it this morning. Thanks for your post. I followed the commands you posted and noticed that although I used "sas3flash.efi -c 0 -o -e 7" the second 3008 would show up when I input "sas3flash.efi -c 1 -list" so, I went ahead and...

    again thanks for your help... now would a SAS 9300-16e be able to handle the Adaptec Lenovo 36port 12gb/s SAS Expander Card? Just want to confirm I am starting to conceptually grasp this LSI stuff. It says the 9300-16E (e for external so the ports are facing outside of my case so I can route...

I also had access to either i5-11500 or i5-11500T. I really like the ASRock board I feel it is an ideal storage board...
