Hey all - I have 4 Dell R740s that are the lame 8 x 3.5" drive bay models. I use them as hypervisors as I have a SC847 still with a bunch of SM863 disks for dedicated storage. Was thinking of making one of the R740s an NVMe chassis and moving TrueNAS to that. Is it easy to buy the necessary...

Hey all - been a bit but I've been running a TrueNAS setup with all 960/1.92TB SM863 disks in my lab in mirrors. It works great and I have 36 disks in total, but I am starting to have drive failure and these drives, while easy to find, are all coming in with like 80 - 92% life replacements...

Hey all - I put together a B650E-E w/ 7950X3D (was a 7950X but B&H had the X3D for sale cheaper than I had paid 2 weeks prior, so...) and I threw a Broadcom BCM57810S which is older in. This machine is going to be a media transcode/stream box - it works fine, but after a few days of uptime this...

Hey all - I am using a whacky combo of an Arista 7124SX as my core, a Cisco 3048 for 1 GbE, a Meraki MS220-8P for PoE, and then one of the cheap 2.5 GbE switches STH recommended for my desktops that uplink to the 7124SX over SFP+. Is there a 2.5 GbE/PoE 12-24 port switch with SFP+ uplink...

Hi all - Decommed my FreeNAS box and have the memory and CPUs left over. There are 10 DIMMs of Samsung 16GB 2Rx4 PC3-12800R and 6 DIMMs of Samsung 16GB 2Rx4 PC3-14900R. I was running both in my system with no issue of course because the 14900R will run at 12800R. I also have the CPUs from...

Hi all - I have a lot of 8 Western Digital 4TB Red NAS drives that have been sitting in a ZFS pool doing nothing for about two years since having moved to 8TB disk, and now 18TB disks. They have been great for me and have had no issues. They ran in my Synology 8-bay, then FreeNAS, now TrueNAS...

Hey all - Have an Arista 10 Gbps "core" in my lab. But, I've also got a random smattering of 10/100/1000 ports whereas 6 or 7 of them are POE. I used to have a Nexus 3048 as my core and just hang these 10/100/1000 off of it and the Meraki 8P POE I have. Tired of renewing license. Tired of...

Hey all - I recently wrote up a blog post after buying another Supermicro X9DRi-LN4F+ only to find out that the eBay seller had not checked for a BIOS password. After experimenting with all of the suggestions on STH and other blogs I was unable to get it to clear. I tried CMOS battery...

Hey all, I picked up two pairs of E5-2697 v2 stepping SR19H. I put two in my R620 and it works perfectly. I went to put the other two into my SC846 with X9DRi-LN4F+ which has a single PWS-920P-SQ PSU and the system powers up but no POST. I'm running the latest IPMI/BMC firmware and BIOS, and...

Hey ya'll I bought an SC847 (?) 36 bay 3.5" that came with a 16-DIMM motherboard in what is essentially a 2U configuration. I have procured 24 x 16GB DIMMs (2Rx4) and want to expand the memory to 384GB, so I bought a X9DRI-LN4F+ board which will provide enough slots. I went to remove the X9...

Hey guys - I have a Supermicro SC846 chassis running dual E5-2670s, 256GB of RAM, 16 x 8TB disks, and 8 x Intel S3710 400GB SSDs. It's an ESXi box for my lab. I am using Noctua NH-U9DX i4 on each CPU. I was up around 75 - 80% RAM utilization and started getting a "high non-critical" (80C)...

Hey all - have an SC846 on rails now, but would like to get a cable management arm if it's available so I can pull it out of the rack without worrying about yanking on cables. Is one available? Thanks!

Hey all - I recently built two 400+TB ZFS builds and put the OS on mdadm mirrored Micron 5100 MAX. I used MAX because my VAR could get them during the SSD shortage whereas the PRO's were unavailable. So, I don't touch the DWPD or anything, but I have them. These boxes have NVMe (P3700) SLOG...

Hey all I have an SC846 that had an Intel S2600CP2J motherboard and E5-2670's in it along with 256GB of RAM. However, the Intel board just gave up the ghost leaving me in a bind because I have eight 4TB sata disks and 8 Intel S3710 400GB SSDs in the box. This was holding my virtualized...

Hey all - woke up today to my server not booting. I have an Intel S2600CP2J in an SC846. Everything was running fine for a year or more. I go over to the box and the PSUs on the rear are just blipping amber and off, repeatedly. If I plug the PSUs in alone, they spin up (outside of case). I...
