Here we go ... so for the mobo, cpu's, ram and cooler I prefer a single sale. Hence the discount. I don't want to get stuck with a few modules or cpu's that won't sell. For all items: 100% working! Stuff ran for years 24/7 with no issues whatsoever. Mobo and Xeon Silver are 3,5 years old. Xeon...

SOLD I originally bought 19 of these, but only needed 11, so if anyone wants to buy the last 8 off of me I'm putting them up for sale here. Sale is through paypal invoice unless you are local to MN (55330) and want to do cash with discount. SMART data and pictures below. I have low level...

I would like to start a short poll that shall run for 90 days here. Any thoughts about Ceph deployment and/or other distributed HA storage solutions are very much appreciated. Thanks and keep voting.

I have a set of 8x Seagate Exos 6TB 3.5" HDD I'm selling. They are the SATA version (ST6000NM021A) so they work in PC, NAS, workstation, Server, etc. I have them listed at $60/ea, free shipping if you buy 2+ and discounts for selling the lot (preference). These have excellent health with...

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 looking for a Dell MD3620F or comparable 24x 2.5" SFF fiber channel SAN for my lab. Ideally something with dual controllers but can live nicely in a 2U form factor with the ability to add additional disk shelves. The MD3620Fs will pop up from time to time on ebay for $800, so looking to...

Where/how/who is a great source for all the various "SFF-xxxx" storage cables? Not interested in cheap shiny fakes!

I have a 36 drive chassis - https://www.supermicro.com/manuals/chassis/4U/SC847.pdf Use case #1: store vm backup's use case #2: send backups to cloud (e.g. Wasabi etc) Looking for an o/s recommendation. - o/s or app must have a gui so I can manage the backup's ingested. - o/s or app must have...

So I have always wanted a ZFS HA SAN for the house, and a project at work introduced me to OSNexus QuantaStor, as well as their amazing CEO/CTO Steven Umbehocker who ended up handling my sales call during December a year or so ago while his sales staff was I guess doing holiday stuff. After...

So I recently acquired a new server for my lab, now I'm debating on storage options. I'm looking for around 2TB, also nothing mission critical is planned on this machine, hence a single SSD would be enough for now. Since price difference between SATA and NVME is negligible and SAS (12G) is...

Hi all - I just learned that my PCIe NVMe's are not compatible with a system. I'm looking for a cheap deal on a m.2 sata drive between 256 and 1tb for a lab/test system I have a ADATA XPG SX6000 Pro M.2 SSD 256 GB nvme that I can trade. Please provide prices including shipping to US-CA. Thanks!

So to preface. I'm not going to do this. I'm not running zfs even (maybe yet , maybe ever). I was going trough the basics and I have questions my regular hangout couldn't answer in a way that wasn't "that's just dumb" . So you're supposed to size your pools and vdevs according to your loss...

Hey, So I'm wanting to set up some MPIO datastores for ESXi. They'd be for several different workloads: General file storage, video recording on VMs, and the VMs themselves. I looked long and hard at several cluster file systems, but let's face it: Ceph is complicated, OCFS2 is obscure and...

Final EDIT: Unit has been sold, thanks for everyone's interest. I have a Western Digital Data102 JBOD Enclosure I'm looking to sell with no drives; everything pictured here. Have powered the unit up and did communication with the SAS channels; but we did not have enough drives (needs to be...
