Hi all. Running my home server on Xeon E2698v3 right now. 16 cores, 32 threads. It consumes 100W at idle, but with 3060ti it can go way higher obviously. Was offered board with D1541 processor: half as many cores, able to support 128Gb of ram. Seems that's a good system to offload some...

Hi all. I'm pretty happy with Aruba APs at home, but wondering what enterprise (or SMB) APs are managed locally or have that ability? Or better say: what APs can be used at home without enterprise contracts ? Obviously, looking for roaming features .k .r, some extra features to play with, but...

Hi all. Got Aruba 535 Access point for sale. Not using it enough and it's overkill for my apartment. Originally zoned for IL, but I switched region to US. It's able to join existing US cluster or be run as standalone, but you may not be able to add it to Aruba Central. I can always switch...

Hi all. I'm considering geting LTO drive for backups of my own stuff. Seems like a better idea, compared to big number of spinners. Are there any issues or know-hows I need to know prior to buying one? I assume it can read two get before and write 1 gen before, so LTO-5 drive can read/write...

Got three AP, Aruba IAP 303H, set to US region. Can work in cluster, one becomes virtual controller. Able to work in Mesh as well. Every AP have three downlink ports for some devices that you want to place on network. That's not Aruba InstantON, but Instant, so have all the enterprise features...

Looking to build new workstation and prefer it to be SFF. Everything is sorted out (kinda), except how to get 10Gbe network? I'm looking at ITX boards, but will consider mATX boards, since it's just a bit bigger. Obviously, that I'd prefer AMD Ryzen. There're only two x570 boards that have...

Hi all. I'm running ESXi server at home and want to passthrough some USB devices. I remember there were some 4-port card that are seen as four different devices, so I can add USB devices to different machines. Can anyone point me in the right direction please? I already configured internal...

Hi all In the process of building new little All-in-one server and wanted to utilized NVME Namespaces. It will be ESXi-based, but I'd like to keep Windows and Linux installed for troubleshooting just in case. I thought that with Namespaces I could've work around some limitations, for example...

I need videocard for my new HTPC build and I need short one or I need to cut my case. It will be passed through to VM running on ESXi host. I got very good luck with Radeon cards in such configuration but heard lots of bad stories about Nvidia. Radeon doesn't make Short "ITX" cards now, last...

Previously I was running all the drives in cages and backplanes. Now I need to connect single SSD to existing SAS controller. SSD is "Dual port SAS3" and controller is LSI3008 with SAS Mini HD connector. SAS HD part is pretty obvious: SFF-8643 port. What do I need for other end? I have cables...

Does anyone know how to get smart info for NVME drive in ESXI? Picked up few drives and want to get TBW data from them. Tried smartctl vib, but no luck. Also have FusionIO drive, but it's so much easier to get all the data there with drivers and documentation.

Getting my internet upgraded later this week. Currently using Mikrotik 951 G router, which was fine for 50mbps, but not sure if this gonna handle 500mbps now (upgradable to 1gbps, but unlikely). I'll be getting static IP, so ideally I'd like to have some sort of VPN server, but I can always do...

Hi. Does anyone have experience with home mesh network? Want to extend my network from one corner to another, wonder if those are any good? Biggest question: what speed and and reliability can I expect? Does it only work for small devices (printers/tv) or I can use on data storage as well...

Hi all. I was reading one of the workstation topics recently, and realized that I'm not using my lab alot right now. It's pretty powerful, and takes some space in my tiny apartment. And I know that some of the people have huge labs at home, with some resources available. Did anyone though of...

Hi all. I realized that my current card it too slow after I upgraded to 4k display. Need something more powerful, don't mind playing games as well. I'm using VM with Videocard passed-through and I always heard that Radeon's are better choice for that. Also some of them work with Mac OS X...
