raid

My Synology CS407 NAS don’t turn on, it may be out of order. I’ve got a NAS device with RAID 6. What should I do with all the data that’s still on the disks? (I hope that all drives are working and my data is still there) There is no way to access the files by just connecting the disks to the...

I have a synology ds920+ in and have replaced several drives and have a collection of 8tb Seagate compute (yes i know some are smr, hourly i can still use them?) and Toshiba n300 drives and an ironwolf. I wanted to create storage that i can put together a collection of retro files on (all kinds...

Greetings, I am currently in a thought process of redesigning my home network into a much better system and wanted to get some feedback on this forum. There may be better ways or better tools out there that I don't know yet. Main things I wanted to focus one: plex as media server, nextcloud as...

I was browsing in a store a year ago and they had one of these (except it's the 2 drive model 210) on clearance for $200. I have two cheap WD single drive NAS drives and did not plan on buying another "cheap" solution as I eventually want a proper NAS (Synology, Qnap etc) but it was less than...

I am running RHEL8 on a single drive right now. I would like to migrate to a RAID1 configuration with hardware raid handled by my Intel PCH onboard RAID controller (X10DRH-CT motherboard). I have configured the RAID and attempted to do a simple dd to the raid (which shows up as an mdadm raid...

I bought two of these servers for a couple of nas builds. But for the life of me I can only get bays 0-3 and B0 working. Bay 4-7 and B1 seem not to be there. Do I need to set my bios differently or buy a hardware key of some sort? I have heard a little bit about something called rksata8 and...

Hey! Recently got this off the bay, I've since found a different solution so Im looking to pass this one on. Part numbers: 749797-001 792356-001 50€ + shipping cost to your location. (Ships from Sweden) Paypal or SEPA.

I have an H11DSi-NT with a CSE-826 containing a BPN-SAS3-826EL1 backplane. It also has the two rear 2.5in bays/backplane. I'd like to run NVME for boot stuff and then use the front 12 bays for storage space, probably with more than one array if possible. I have used Dell PERC stuff at work but...

Hi all I got a Dell T40 less than a year ago as I had to migrate from a HP Microserver. (old one got flooded, long story). I've had a raid card LSI megaraid 9261 in it, which was fairly easily replaced from ebay. But I am running Esxi 6, which I'd like to upgrade to 7 at some stage, but it...

Okay maybe you all could help me. I cannot seem to connect to my IBM server's ServeRAID controller. I go through the usual boot, but when I Ctrl-H to enter the WebBIOS for the RAID controller, it locks when I click start. I cannot move the mouse, no keys seem to work. I left it overnight...

Considering a 3U case that has a backplane for SAS/SATA that comes with 4x SFF-8643 connectors on it. 16 ports total. Going to use SAS drives that are 12gbps. Planning on connecting it to a raid card but for the life of me can't tell what kind of cables I need. Haven't figured out the raid...

Hi All, A while ago I purchased a LSI 9211-8i setup for HBA. I was testing TrueNAS and the card was working fine for this, no problems. HBA did drive scans on boot and all that expected stuff. Now the server is being purposed for Windows Server, so I bought a LSI MegaRAID 9271-8i. It...

Hi All, we buy SuperStoreSystem 6048R-DE2CR24L ( a high-end Super Storage Bridge Bay (SBB) system comprised of two main subsystems ), when we power on two node and go to raid utility (ctrl + C in system boot) , one Node show all disks , but another node dony any show disks in raid utility...

Hello everyone, Does anyone have any experience with the HPE NS204i-p in a non HP system, specifically an Intel S2600STBR motherboard? Thanks Ray

I need to connect 4 SED Ultrastar HC550 hard drives somehow, but I don't know what to look for other than low price and number of ports. The drives are less than 285 MB/s each, so I doubt there would be bandwidth limitations. Does the HBA affect use of TCG Enterprise encryption? I was looking at...

Hi Folks. I have a SQL Server database running on a virtualized Windows Server 2012 R2 (VMware ESXi). I have a task from Accountancy to boost the performance of the database. The database has about 70GB and the RAM allocated is about 90GB. The virtual machine is spinning on SAS Disks 10k -...

Hello, so, I am trying to figure out if I understand ZFS and how I should go about setting up TrueNAS. My current hardware is A dell poweredge R720XD, that has 2 SATA boot SSDs on the rear backplane in one mirror and then 24 drive bays in the front I intend to populate with 1TB SAS drives. I was...

So, Recently I picked up a dell R720XD for a good deal, and I am waiting for my drives to come in to use it as a home NAS. I planned on using truenas with a raidz2 setup using Dell SAS drives and to boot off a raid1 setup using the rear back-plane on the 720xd for a pair of SATA SSDs. In doing...

To my surprise LVM mdadm does actually seem to be able to save extra checksum-data to prevent bit-rot/soft corruption. Until now I thought the only way was to go e.g. btrfs or sfz. But I just ran into this article over at RHEL: Using DM integrity with RAID LV Together with thin LVM snapshots...

I am very new to RAID/HBA cards and to flashing them. I read through nearly all big guides (e.g. techmattr, etc.) on how to flash this card to IT mode. The files I used for flashing are from a link to a zip-folder provided in techmattr's guide (folder date: 2016-05-24) I have provided...
