    Time for a new router

    Hey all - it's been a long time, maybe some around here still recognize me... Anyways, my home pfSense router died last night - was one of those little quad-port mini-PC devices from ali-express. Ran great for the last 5 years or so, so I figure I got my moneys worth there - but now I find...

    LSI SAS 9201-16e's for $40

    LSI SAS 4-PORT 6GB PCI-EXPRESS 2.0 X8 CONTROLLER CARD H3-25379-01K SAS9201-16E Listed price is $44.99, but the seller accepted a $40 offer from me. Not sure if he'd go lower or not, but it seems a pretty good price for 16 lanes of 6G SAS for connecting up lots of spinning rust.

    Custom STH-Themed Parts

    So there's been a few hints here and there in @Patriot 's recent posts - we've designed a STH branded Raspberry Pi case - should fit a model B+ / 2 / 3. I don't currently have a 3d printer to verify that any of the dimensions are actually correct in the design, but we should have confirmation...

    Possible Cheap SuperMicro Rails

    From the searching I've done, these appear to be the same supermicro quick rails that work with most of their chassis, and at only $20 USD a set is the cheapest I've ever seen - too bad they want $200 to ship a set to Canada. But maybe someone closer to them can still get them for a reasonable...

    Playing with my SAS expander

    After some recent discussions around here about link aggregation, I decided to do a bit of playing around and share the results. The hardware for this experiment consists of an IBM M1015 HBA, a SuperMicro SC846 chassis with the BPN-SAS2-846EL1 backplane, and lots of spinning disks. Note...

    MS StorSimple

    Just wondering if anyone has any experience with these things, and what their thoughts are. I've got a couple meetings coming up in the near future about it here at work (I suspect some marketing person somewhere has convinced my boss its a good idea), but right now only know as much about it as...

    Data Recovery Project

    I'm not certain that this is the right forum for this, but a mod can move it if they like. In any case, on to the content... I'm currently working on a small project here for a friend. He has had an Intel Matrix-Raid of 3x 500GB SATA drives running Raid-0 for quite a few years now, and just...

    Would like some more opinions

    After recently suffering some minor filesystem corruption, I've moved all of my data temporarily and now have the somewhat rare opportunity to re-layout all of my raid arrays. I should note that the OS (gentoo linux) boots from a mirrored pair of 160GB drives that are not included in any of...
