Hi All I have three Dell R610 Servers with me and was thinking of setting up a home lab with Proxmox. These servers come with Perc 6i RAID controllers and I understand that there is no way for me to configure the drives as JBOD for Ceph Storage. I am looking at replacing the Perc 6i with SAS...

Hi, I have a R730xd with 24x2.5”+2x2.5” setup. Using an HBA adapter, I would like to connect some external 3.5” disks to use in my virtual Truenas. The challenge is to provide power to the external disks. Is it possible to use one of the PCI-e power slots and PCI-e to Molex/SATA cable to power...

I have a pair of this enclosure and I'm currently using adapters to mount ten 2.5" SSDs into 3.5" drive bays. Does anyone know if there exists a higher density version of these enclosures purpose built for 2.5" disks?

I'm experiencing weird problem with my DS4243 where I am getting high iowait on it consistently. Originally I had a Supermicro 846 sas2 expander back plane and load was around 8-12. Since switching my storage over to a DS4243 I am seeing a load of 20-40. My setup: Supermicro 826 12 bay...

I have been requested to look at a strange issue for a friend and I am wondering if anyone has run into this issue before. I am going out to his site later in the week so I will be able to try to troubleshoot it then. Basically he mines crypto using HDDs and several JBOD. The server is a...

I bought pallets of Hitachi DF850 boxes and controllers (cuz I'm an idiot). The disks are 520 which I can successfully change to 512 using my desktop pc. However I can not for the life of me get SNM2 to connect to controller or get a drive box to function properly with sas drives, sata drives...

Sure, a bunch of disk shelves and refurb drives could be cheaper but it'd take up a lot of space and power. This jbod seems like a solid deal at $25K for 1PB of storage. I'm not sure who would need it, maybe someone mining filecoin or siacoin or something like that...

So I got some Seagate 12TB drives quite a while ago in a good trade for me, but have not been able to decide on how to put them to use yet. There's about 80 of them, most of them still unused. I think my budget is around $2k tops. I am from Europe. I was dreaming of something like this: *NEW*...

I'm building my own JBOD case using a cut down rack case, and 3x Supermicro M35T racks installed which are all SATA connections (5 per M35T - so 15 total requred) I thought you could have breakout cables from 8088 to 8077 with more than 4 SATA connections but that doesn't seem to be the case...
