Second switch has now been sold. Mod please feel free to close this thread. Thanks guys

First switch has sold 1 switch is remaining.

Rand_ is correct Netgear does not allow warranty transfers on any of their products so i have updated the post.

Sorry the shipping + possible import fees & duties might not be worth it since i am selling these switches for such a low price.

I have recently upgraded my home lab networking equipment so i have a few switches that i no longer need. I wanted to give the STH community first dibs before i posted them on ebay. These switches are priced to move and would be the great starting of a homelab (hence the reason i orignally...

The recommended memory for E3 Xeons is DDR3 ECC UDIMM's. This doesn't mean that non ECC memory wont work as there are some consumer boards (meant for Core i series) that also happen to work with Xeon's (normally unofficially). Your best bet is the see if the vendor of the motherboard has a...

Sold pending payment.

I have this exact card (I paid much more for it a few years ago) and you can set WRITE THROUGH without a BBU no problem. In fact this is currently how my RAID Array is set (though protected by a UPS).

I am selling a lightly used (less than 6 months) Asrock C2550D4I motherboard + 8GB of Crucial PC3-12800 UDIMM ECC Memory. The 8core version of this same board has been reviewed on STH here: http://www.servethehome.com/Server-detail/asrock-c2750d4i-atom-c2750-storage-platform-review/ This was...

Nice build u defitnatly are running a few things on it. What was the reason for 2012 data center vs standard or enterprise?

I have done some initial testing on supported 10G NICs with Nanoboot and physical box with usb boot drive. 1. Intel X540-T2 = Supported (I assumed this would work as the actual synology line lets you purchase these specific nics for add in) 2. Mellanox Connect X2 - Not currently supported...

In case anyone wants or needs a guide I used the one below and got up and running pretty smoothly. Many thanks to HellDiverUK for his build and this thread. XPEnology NAS • View topic - DSM 5.0-4493 Update 2 Bare Metal Install Guide

Very nice build I currently have a Synology DS1812+ and its great but I would like to move to 10GBe. I currently use mine to backup a few VM's including a large home fileserver (10TB). After seeing your post I am interested in building a test box to see if: 1. will nanoboot work with Intel...

Hey prt727 I have been running esx for a bit (at work and home) so ill try to help you out as best I can. That really depends on your requirements & budget there is no 1 answer fits all. Some examples I can give are 1 Host for All (ESXI OS boots from thumb drive | ESXI VM's use Internal...

33_viper_33 that's awesome I'll look into that as well. I also much rather an efficient ups n I can see the value in that. Is the APC software that's required for shutting down VMware hosts free? I wasn't sure about eBay for ups purchases just due to shipping costs since batteries weigh a lot...

what model of ups do u have?

Yeah I thought about something like that but for home use wouldn't that be somewhat expensive? I mean I think $250.00 or below would be a good goal for this but I don't think I want to spend $400 or above for the ups + network card ? Any idea on doing this for less than $250.00?

Question for anyone out there with a home lab setup. How do you handle shutting down multiple ESXI hosts with 1 UPS? If I only had 1 host it would be easy just use USB but like most of you I have more than 1 host. I have dome some research into the topic and this seems the...

Huh thats very intriguing. According to that website its shows to be faster than a core i5 3570K. I assume due to having more cores though i believe cinebench is synthetic definitely peaks my interests.

When you say these work with 10g SPF are u saying they will nogotiate a 10G link between it and a Mellenox EN card or that it will negotiate a 1G link? I have had this switch 1810-24 v2 for about 2 years so I'd be very surprised if it could handle any 10g since its not in the specs.
