    Storage Server (10+ hdds) Recommendations

    I'm looking at the the HP DL180 G5 again. GMcDonnell said that Supermicro has no vendor locks (as opposed to HP). But together with 2 LSI MegaRAID 9240-8i, 4 TB drives should be working fine (in JBOD mode). Except that it's a PCIe x8 card and, according to documentation, the server has 2...

    Storage Server (10+ hdds) Recommendations

    zrav, well I don't need hardware RAID functionality either, but why remove this functionality if you don't have to use it? I would expect the operating system to see all the drives individually (JBOD) as long as I don't use/configure hardware RAID. Can you confirm this, do you see all your...

    Storage Server (10+ hdds) Recommendations

    Not that I would need it (I think), but the LSI LSI00244 (9201-16i) is a SAS HBA PCIe x8 (not x4) and it has no hardware RAID, just JBOD and has some good reviews (on Newegg) from people using it for ZFS on FreeBSD. But with $370 it's also pretty expensive. The M1015 looks nice but I keep...

    Storage Server (10+ hdds) Recommendations

    I don't have specific performance requirements. Stability/reliability (like in the case of a single disk failure) is more important than performance. It doesn't have to be datacenter-like fast. My initial plan was Debian with ZFSonLinux, but I'm thinking of changing this plan in favor of...

    Storage Server (10+ hdds) Recommendations

    I'm looking for a storage server that can fit 10 SATA drives. Does not have to be new. I've found a few servers on Ebay, like this HP Proliant DL180 G5...

    Crosshair V Formula won't POST, 1 long beep 3 short ones, VGA_LED/RAM

    Thanks sirmonkey1985 for your reply. Well I agree about the VMware crashes. Now I remember this happened to me before - on a computer with memory issues. By that I mean there were different types of modules installed at the same time. I then replaced some of them so they'd all match and this...

    Crosshair V Formula won't POST, 1 long beep 3 short ones, VGA_LED/RAM

    Hi, about two weeks ago, I rebuilt my computer - new MB (Crosshair V Formula), new RAM (CMZ8GX3M2A1600C9, 16 GB total), new graphics card (Nvidia GeForce GTX 460), same old reliable PSU (Tagan TG900-BZ). The mainboard won't POST, after about 30 seconds it does 1 long beep and 3 short beeps...
