    Build Advice: Low Power ZFS File Server (Or Virtualised All-in-one server)

    Well, I don't need awesome performance at the moment so I figured that if I get it and then decide it's not enough I can just reuse it in something else. It also suits my power envelop better than the other CPUs. It's a trial and error process xD I'll do some tests when it arrives to see how it...

    Build Advice: Low Power ZFS File Server (Or Virtualised All-in-one server)

    Yeah, the 1220L will work out of the box, I can't get a hold of a 1220LV2 for a decent price in my area unfortunately but it's a minor difference really. Getting a BIOS update wouldn't really be much of an issue and I'll probably do it anyway because I like keeping things updated and it's easier...

    Build Advice: Low Power ZFS File Server (Or Virtualised All-in-one server)

    Well, I've settled on the hardware and software side of things, the following will be the build: Case: Norco 4224 Motherboard: Supermicro X9SCM-F Memory: 4x 8Gb Unbuffered ECC Kingston RAM CPU: Intel Xeon E3-1220L HBA Controller: x3 IBM M1015 (flashed to LSI9211-IT) Expander Card: None NIC...

    Build Advice: Low Power ZFS File Server (Or Virtualised All-in-one server)

    xD That was my opinion too :p Fortunately a client has a tape drive that I have permission to use once a month so I only have to pay for the tapes, otherwise I don't know if I'd be able to afford it. As it is it's already costly lol. I'm really looking forward to playing with something new to...

    Build Advice: Low Power ZFS File Server (Or Virtualised All-in-one server)

    I'll answer for both my OCD and in case it helps others make a decision for themselves. I already do a lot of System Administration from work however it's primarily Windows with a few Fedora systems so that's not really anything new to me. Solaris however is but I also like being able to...

    Build Advice: Low Power ZFS File Server (Or Virtualised All-in-one server)

    The prices I'm listing are EBay, it's hard finding ones without $30-$40 shipping to Australia unfortunately. Maybe I'll just keep an eye out for a week or two to see what pops up. I can always get the rest of the hardware and start playing around with the software side which I'll be doing one...

    Build Advice: Low Power ZFS File Server (Or Virtualised All-in-one server)

    Reassuring that it's actually a reasonable build. I did some more research and decided that I think I'll go with the Chenbro expander as it'll save ~12W (Each M1015 is listed as 13.5W and the Chenbro is listed as 15W) which means from an M1015 + Chenbro expander it draws 28.5W instead of 3x...

    Build Advice: Low Power ZFS File Server (Or Virtualised All-in-one server)

    The more I look into this the more I think I need some advice from people that know a bit more than I do... Anyway, I'm looking at building a low powered File Server using the ZFS file system, so as far as getting the latest ZFS that means I'm going to be using something based on Solaris...

    ClearOS & Areca 1880i

    Hopefully this isn't a completely studip question but.. Unless I'm wrong, the Areca 1880 series are real Hardware RAID and not FakeRAID so they should be completely transparent to the Linux OS. This should mean they are compatible right? If not, what are the odds that downloading the driver...
