    Poor write speeds to Sata SSDs using LSI Megaraid 9361-16i

    Over the last few months I've been having continuous performance problems with my SSDs. I originally had them configured in a 4 disk, raid 5 array, however have tested them in almost any other configuration you can think of in order to try and get them to work. Even if I put the controller in...

    Trying to get an IBM PX05SRB192 working with TrueNAS SCALE

    I've recently had the luck of getting a Storwize with 24 of these guys for free. While I was on CORE I couldn't even get them to show up. Now they get a designator (/dev/sdXYZ) but they seem to show up as size: 0 on TrueNAS. Now my first though was, must be a 520 sector size but it refuses to...

    I recently acquired a Supermicro superserver with X10DRG-OT+ mainboard and X9DRG-O-PCIE board. I need to be able to boot from NVMe drive(s), my plan was to install Proxmox on a ZFS RaidZ1 with 4 NVMe drives. I got a cheap PCIe NVMe riser card - ASUS Hyper M.2 x16 PCIe 3.0 x4 Expansion Card V2...

    Any information on these drives

    Hello everyone, I'll admit, I wasn't thinking and bought 2 of these on eBay. If I'm correct, it looks like the date code is 08/2021. I'm also going to assume these are Samsung PM1643A drives with HPE firmware. So, if these are low hour/low use drives, is it worth trying to get them back to...

    What makes a datacenter ssd special?

    This question has always bothered me but I never got a satisfactory explanation. Apart from the vague "higher quality components", what really makes (for example) Google use enterprise SSDs over high quality consumer grade ones? Thanks.

    How important are PLP or other enterprise features?

    Howdy people. At some point in the future I'll be looking to put together an all ssd raid array. I was looking at 2 different ssd options to do this, but the enterprise option is almost double the cost per gb. I'm wondering how beneficial these features are. I was looking at 1.5tb optane...

    Can a 1 DWPD SSD become a 3 DWPD just with overprovisioning?

    I am looking at the specs of the Micron 9300 SSD, which they sell in two versions, pro starting at a size of 3.84TB rated at 1 DWPD, and max starting at 3.2TB rated at 3 DWPD. But specs seem otherwise identical. My question is, is there more to the higher endurance than the overprovisioning? ie...

    Are MZ-ILS3T80 PM1633 good?

    I'm looking at multiple sellers of MZ-ILS3T80 PM1633 SAS SSDs. A few of them explicitly say 512B and others don't. Do these have any known longevity or other issues to be aware of? These are for light home use, so I'm not too worried about them being used. Things I am unsure of: Can they be...
