I'm gonna necro this thread since it's relevant to me. I noticed today using two sets of yellow rev B rails and two 846 chassis I cannot extend my chassis far enough to remove the top cover.
Not sure what the deal is there. From the posts here it sounds like using the rails I have I shouldn't...
I've purchased 10TB drives from them and they didn't wipe SMART or anything like that. Clearly showed they had a ton of hours on them. So I dunno, maybe they stopped messing around with it due to the complaints?
Yeah I had gone down this route initially but for the number of things I wanted to print it started to become somewhat costly. To the point where it feels like a better investment to just do it myself, as Thanos would say.
Plus it's just a great excuse to get into something I've been interested...
Appreciate the advice. I only speak to models I see readily available online ready to print where right when I see it I wish I could print it right then and there lol
That would be the start. Then eventually maybe seeing how I am modify such models.
One step at a time as always!
This is seriously becoming more and more of a requirement / good idea for me. I really need to look into getting my own printer but I want to get one that is as easy to use and hands off as possible lol. Going to do deep dive research on this because there's too many good ideas I could execute...
Appreciate the input. I am aware of all the requirements. It would be interesting to see a large adapter like this with some cooling feature of the ability to mount fan(s). Otherwise I planned to add some additional airflow manually.
It appears that the same adapter is on aliexpress for...
I have used the same HBA with the same backplane without issue.
Updating the firmware on the HBA is extremely easy and I would recommend doing so. The firmware update includes instructions, it's very easy to follow. You can download it via the product page...
Doesn't need its own power, doesn't take up additional real estate in a rack or shelf... IMO the pros aren't worth the cons but it's interesting for sure.
Thank you for the heads up! I need to clean up my eBay alerts a bit.
I'm not crazy in thinking prices are pretty meh these days am I? Because this seems a bit more expensive than I'd like for that capacity.
Agreed on the SAS SSDs. I've gotten a few different models from different EMC arrays...
Yep so pretty much as I expected, it's all the same physical connector. My SAS drive too has all the pins on the other side.
@Chriggel 's photos are way better than mine lol.
It personally caught me off guard as I had always associated it with NVMe. It's funny because I was spending years...
