    I bought a used 3U Supermicro chassis with an older generation motherboard and eventually upgraded it to a Micro-ATX X11SSH supermicro motherboard, that is much smaller than the previous motherboard. everything works, the fans and the server boots up, etc, the problem is the 20 pin cable from...

    Super cheap Supermicro Superserver! 1U w/ 8x 2.5" bay & X8DTL

    I was thinking about buying one of theses for my home rack - I would like to upgrade the motherboard and CPU to something more recent but I am worried about the lack of height on the 1U case. Is there a recommendation for a fast Intel proc + CPU fan? and SM motherboard recommendation?

    ZFS issue on FreeNAS

    The BSD command line is for experts . Double check important commands before the most damaging key - the return key! I have been using FreeNAS for over a year now, I like it, but the GUI can't do everything. I have added and deleted SLOGs via the command line, even used gpart to correctly...

    Need guidance on what OS/storage solution to choose for my media server

    I run a FreeNAS 9.3 media server (pair, primary & backup). my bluray and dvd rips are MKV and my audio CD rips are FLAC. I run FreeNas 9.3 + Plex in a jail. I find The scanner/transcoder/interface on various platforms just fine (Roku and Apple TV 4). I run the video files on a separate 8x6Tb...

    Raidz Question

    I run a media/mkv/flac server - i have a supermicro case with 16 drives - i was running a big raidz3 with 11 or 13 disks. I realized that the blu ray rips were taking up a large portion of the storage and I thought about splitting up into a 3Tb x 6 raidz2 and a 3Tb x 10 raidz2 . I have...

    Raidz Question

    I wouldn't recommend changing your 2 raidz2 pools into 1 larger z3 pool - while it is reliable with larger disks (3Tb and beyond) the resilver times would be very long.
