TLDR: Is it possible to use Rizers labeled "Rizer 1" in the Rizer 2 spot with Cisco UCS C240 M4 Servers?
I got a bunch of Cisco C240 M4 servers (some branded M4, some M4SX and some BE7000H) but they are all basically the same regarding the pcie setup.
Originally you could order all three of...
Is it normal that it goes to about 75°C while mostly idle with two 10G connection plugged in?
It is below some pcie expansion cards but general airflow isnt terrible ether.

does it need a repast / new thermalpad...
My isp is hopefully upgrading my connection within the next couple weeks (10 to 25g) so i will have to replace my firewall.

I am fully aware that opnsense / pfsense is not going to be able to...
I just stumbled over an ebay listing for some Lenovo OEM 100g networking cards for around ~60$,
its from a quite big / known european seller so i dont think they are counterfeit.
They are listed as Lenovo Intel Nic PN 00WE029 (and PN 00WE025 for an even cheaper pcie x8 version)
Are those...

So whats your thought on U2 hotswap bays that can fit in 5.25" slots?
The only ones i found in the western markets where the ones from icy dock for over 400€ for 4x 2.5" U2 which is crazy expensive.

So this is hopefully going to finalize the storage setup for a new hypervisor.
The system is going to have 4 U2 drives but the board doesnt have any slim sas connectors / native support,
so i will need to connect them via a pcie x16 gen3 slot.
Options:
PCIE x16 Card to 4x SFF-8643 connector >...
I am currently looking for drives for an upcoming proxmox server build.
So it is going to be mostly random read / write and not a lot of sequential.
One option would be to go with "normal" m2 ssds on a pcie riser.
The server is pcie gen3 and now i am thinking about just going with gen4 drives...
So have been looking for drives for an upcoming (somewhat power consumption oriented) project and
literally all u2 drives are between 15w and 25w each, i am planing to use 4-6 drives for redundancy that would be over 100w in ssds at load!
M2 on the other hand with comparable specs (tbw, nand...

So what happened was basically a cable connecting a single disk of a raidz2 pool failed, the disk is 100% ok and i replaced the cable,
but zfs still shows it as faulted.
The data on the disk is also probably out of sync since it was disconnected for several hours and data was written to the...
