• Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
    Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

    New house networking - need advice on network, hardware and entertainment system

    I would also run two cables to the APs, with newer AC WAPs they can use both links to increase the bandwidth with multiple clients. You would also have a backup cable if one goes bad down the road without having to run a new cable. I am not going to get into the CAT6/6A for data but if you have...

    Help with fiber setup

    I understand, I am trying to be cheaper than $30 for a SFP. So I ordered a WS-G5484 1000Base-SX GBIC for $3.99 and will get a 1000Base-SX SFP for the Dell for about $11.

    Help with fiber setup

    This is the really the first time I have connected anything with fiber that is not the exact same and I am trying to make sure this will work without problems. I am trying to connect my Dad's shed to the house network and they are about 160 ft away. The area has a lot of lighting so I want to...

    ESXI, ISCSI, Fiber Target and Drive Bender

    I apologize, I know better than that. You are correct it is the OS that supports the FC and then Napp-it is a front-end (GUI) for the it. I am using OmniOS with the Napp-it appliance and have got compliance with my wording. I know _Gea added snapraid support to Napp-it a while back which...

    ESXI, ISCSI, Fiber Target and Drive Bender

    So I agree that it "should work" but it sounds complicated with a lot of points of failure like patrickdk said. I do not know much about Openfiler just that I have not heard a lot of good things about it and I did not pick it for my NAS/SAN. But I do know that Napp-it does do FC targets...

    How is your home data organized?

    Mine is very similar to this. Most all of my major data is stored on my NAS but I still have a share that is really unorganized of really old files from all over. Then I have a few old external drives floating around that have data on it that need organized.

    1st ESXi Build: looking for Gen. Advice/Suggestions

    What you are wanting to do (Flexraid in a VM) will require you to have two different hard drive controller. One will be for ESXi as a datastore that you will store the VMs on and the other will be for your Flexraid drivers. I am not using Flexraid but ZFS but it works the same, some call this a...
